Thing and People I do not want to see or hear about in 2018

More tolerance, less grumbling.
No more "Gender Neutral" nonsense.
No more hounding of men who were silly rather than harmfull.
No more sabre rattling by men with the power to destroy the world.
No more drunken behaviour on our streets.
Donald Trump.

So many already mentioned, inc. the endless cookery programmes and 'celebs' - I hate that word! - however I do avoid watching/reading about those anyway.

Jamie Oliver - used to like him but IMO he's over exposed, ditto some of the BBC2 and BBC 4 presenters who I find irritating (I am easily irritated these days!) but watch anyway because the subjects of the documentaries are interesting.

Very long posts with no paragraphs! Not just on this forum, I hasten to add.

Brexit - I know I should be keeping myself informed but I am SO sick of hearing about it and there's nothing I can do about any of it anyway.

TRUMP!! PLEASE somebody, anybody send him into space!!

I agree with all of these posts!

Yes, a one way ticket to the moon.

maryeliza, Someone, I cannot remember his name, was convicted and fined for putting his hand on a woman's knee at a party where the guests were playing some game.

There was a GN thread on the conviction.

My experience of sexual harrassment is limited to one or two minor incidents of wandering hands. I just brushed the wandering hand away or moved. A number of women, recently, have described how traumatised they were by similar trivial incidents.

I think it is does a terrible disservice to those women who have been the victims of serious sexual assault or harassment to treat these trivial events, which were considered unremarkable at the time, although, quite rightly, not now, as if they were equally serious assaults.

I must say I need to keep Trump and Farage in my sights..so I won't get rid of them. However I agree with everyone else about "Celebrity celebrities".

No more "National Treasures" for me:
Holly Willoughby who pops up on our screens all the time.

Ore, who won Strictly last year, popping up all over the TV/Radio

Ed Balls - would go to the opening of envelope! He keeps appearing everywhere

Lillie Allen - and her social commentary

I second that ???

Phillip Schofield
Piers Morgan
Eamonn Holmes

Shockingly tedious TV ads. With so much technology available, surely the creative genii could come up with something better than the current rubbish.
Pointless
Tipping Point
The Chase and Bradley Walsh in particular

1. Brexit,
2. Trump
3. Nigel Farage
4. Scottish independence and Nicola Sturgeon
5. NHS crisis
6. Racial induced violence

Vincent Cable muttering on about another referendum.

I haven't read through the whole thread so apologies if someone else has mentioned Penelope Keith.
She is so up herself.
I have just seen her yet again extolling the virtues of villages.
This series seems to have been on forever.

Yet another re run of Murder She Wrote. Enough already.
