Are there any famous or well known people you just dislike for no rational reason ?
Nigel Farage is one for me
Simon Cowell another. Never met either of them and probably never will but even before I knew what they were known for,something made me dislike them.

Naga Munchetti so rude and smug with it
Anneliese Dodds just awful
Robert Peston why does it take him so long to oh a sentence together?
Keith lemon so crude..I used to like Through the keyhole but as soon as he comes on I have to turn off he is so crude I really couldn't believe what he was saying.,why is he still on TV.
Johnathon Ross likewise .
Ann Robinson (smug full of her own importance)
Lorraine Kelly (a giggling ninny well past her sell by date)

Justin Fletcher MBE presents nationwide children's shows in theatres and on TV. He plays a host of characters in his programmes and shows, one of them being Mr. Tumble. Every one to their own opinion but he has come in for some quite pointed innuendo on here with one comparing him to Jimmy Saville! Have these remarks been made because he works closely with children, so it stands to reason that he must be a creep? We know Saville's history but as there is nothing to tar Justin Fletcher (aka Mt. Tumble) with the same brush, it is a nasty suggestion to make against him.

It was Mr Tumble as a character that my grandson didn’t like. Similar to some people finding clowns creepy I suppose. No problem with the person portraying him.

It’s difficult to work out if I felt instant loathing for some people or if it grew on me. I can’t imagine never feeling physically loathed by Farage even before his political beliefs became more and more abhorrent to me. I instantly disliked Claudia Winkleman because she took over the cinema review programme on BBC and I didn’t feel that she knew her subject matter very well. But then warmed to her after her daughter had that awful accident. I couldn’t dislike a fellow mother that was going through something so awful. My ex, albeit not really being homophobic, literally couldn’t stay in the room if Julian Clary (who I love) came on the tv.

I met Simon Cowell once when my granddaughter made a wish to meet Sharon Osborne. He was very nice, especially to my granddaughter and asked her to sing. She was only 8 and when she sang Bohemian Rapsody instead of a nursery rhyme or a children's sing he told her to come back and see him when she was 16. His horridness on TV is just an act mostbof the time but he is a very shrude business man.

Anneliese Dodds as soon as she appears on TV, I have to switch off.

Alegrias1 Fri 25-Jun-21 14:59:39

So a thread aimed at letting people say who they dislike for no reason at all has resulted in people casting unfounded assertions on a children's entertainer? Who'd a thunk it?

Thank you for pointing that out Sarnia

Carol Vorderman, Naga Munchetty, Nicola Sturgeon, Prince Andrew and Harry and Meghan. Although I don't count my reasons as irrational.

Mine seem to be newsreaders and presenters:

Naga Munchetti
Huw Edwards
Davina McCall
Amanda Holden
Rylan Clarke-Neale
Gemma Collins

As a child both Charlie Drake and Hughie Green gave me the creeps.

I once met Si King (Hairy Biker) and he immediately cracked a cruel joke about my weight so a genuine dislike in his case.

Calendargirl Fri 25-Jun-21 14:41:51

I don’t know who Mr Tumble is!

Jenn53 Fri 25-Jun-21 14:35:38

Ha,ha,ha.......in hysterics!!

geraniam Fri 25-Jun-21 14:30:07

Fiona Bruce, all that blinking hand waving.
Greg Wallace too shouty.
Beth Rigby.

Kate1949 Fri 25-Jun-21 14:24:21

Noel Fitzpatrick, the super vet. Not sure why. There's something about him I can't take to.

Notright Fri 25-Jun-21 14:21:48

Claudia Winkelman and her ridiculous fringe.
Stacey Dooley who seem to appear from nowhere, and is now being overused,
Both of them are smug.

kathsue Fri 25-Jun-21 14:17:30

Sportacus

war criminal Blair - not only took us to war but introduced PFI into the NHS - him and his wife are arseholes.
Fiona Bruce - ruins every programme she goes near.
Emma Thompson -rude about the UK, she can fuck off
Cesar Romaro - American dog (supposedly) expert. Creepy AF
Jeremy Corbyn - hates his own country, friend of terrorists.
Nigella Lawson - so ridiculously affected
Creepy Old Uncle Joe Biden who can't stop touching women and children inappropriately.
Whoever the cretin was in the Green Party who referred to women as 'non men'
Lorraine Kelly - ugh
Kay Burley - stupid woman

I worked at the Home Office when Kate Hoey was a Minister. She was absolutely lovely, would go to the canteen for lunch and sit and chat with everyone.

Not dislike on sight just a general rant about people you don’t like.
What is that horrible comment about Joe Biden ?

Lovely language by the way

You sound very enlightened (not). JC is not a friend of terrorists but he is a friend of negotiation and contributed a huge amount to the peace protest in NI. I think you should research people before making sweeping claims like that.

Bet you love Ann Widdecombe Buttonjugs…..(just a hunch)

Apologies Buttonjugs…..of course I didn’t mean you. Sorry!

Stacey Dooley

Mr Tumble (Justin Fletcher) not Tumple ?

Tooyoungytobeagrandma Fri 25-Jun-21 13:52:55

I'm with grannygravy Mr Tumple gives me the heebiejeebies. As a youngster I disliked Charlie Drake and later Jimmy Saville. Kier Starmer also makes my skin crawl and anything with Gemma Collins in gets switched off I just want to slap her?

Lucca : Your post of 13.05 is quite blunt, you wrote
PLEASE NOTE :

I ask how do you know what people have written are not irrational dislikes on sight? You are not a mind reader.
My own list was not people I hate it was people I dislike.

It is not up to you to say it is time the thread disappeared.
