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.

Linda Barker, Gino D’Campo, Anthea Turner, Philip Schofield, Darcey Bussell, Chris Martin, Gary Barlow, Amanda Holden, Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, James Corden, Lucy Alexander, Tracey-Anne Oberman (ridiculous name too) Lorraine Kelly. There’s probably more but I can’t think of them!

Oh how could I have forgotten to say Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell? Both so affected and just full of themselves! Megan Markle is going the same way too.

? ...and Uncle Tom Cobley and all, and Uncle Tom Cobley and all.... ?

Imagine being called Tracey-Anne Oberman! How ridiculous! hmm

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.

Julie Walters.

She seems to talk in a silly voice and screws her face up, looks like she’s sucking a lemon. Morphed into Mrs Overall, or the ‘soup’ waitress.

Oh, and Judi Dench. Little girl voice at her age sounds daft.

( I realise I will be in a minority here).

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

Please don't shout me down but while we are having a free for all:

Kate Middleton - too wooden!

Sweetpea60 Fri 25-Jun-21 12:58:32

The whole Beckham family

Lucca Fri 25-Jun-21 12:58:33

There some confusion in the quotes here! It is corisanda who made the horrible comment about Joe Biden and Corbyn.

Buttonjugs was responding to that, defending Corbyn rightly agains the accusation.

Well, I agree with you, Calendargirl. I have frequently said the same thing about Judi Dench’s voice, and I agree about Julie Walters, too.

Boris , Farrage and Trump, obvs
But others are:
Davina McCall
Helen Skelton
Nicky Chapman
Fiona Bruce
Marc Almond
Anyone from 'reality (not mine) TV shows

....and many, many 'presenters' who think they are God's gift. Irritating, ill informed, useless and badly spoken. Surely the most important reason for getting the job? It seems not. Looking 'pretty or even vaguely attractive, being pushy and knowing absolutely nothing about anything is a priority it seems

Never could stand Michael Barrymore makes my skin crawl.

Also Donald Trump, Alan Carr, Simon Cowell.

Never liked the Spice Girls much.
don't like Gloria Hunniford or Anne Robinson.

There are probably loads more but that is a start.

Lucca Fri 25-Jun-21 13:05:50

PLEASE NOTE. The OP asked about irrational dislikes on sight, not just a list of people you hate and always have.

Time this thread disappeared

James Nesbitt - who may be a very pleasant individual - makes my flesh creep for some reason, and although I have never watched a full episode of 'Mrs. Brown's Boys' there is something about the actor playing Mrs. Brown that I find deeply unsettling.

LizzieDrip Fri 25-Jun-21 13:15:39

Claudia Winkleman - really want to take some scissors to her fringe!

OldHag Fri 25-Jun-21 13:22:49

Sarah Davies from Dragon's Den
Michael Gove
Naga Munchetty
Carol Vorderman
Claudia Winkleman

and I'm sure there are literally dozens more! I obviously don't like people much, lol.

BlueBelle Fri 25-Jun-21 13:27:19

Anne widdecombe her voice and it’s contents ?
Her best ‘flag waving’ friend Farage the face, the voice, the words coming out the mouth
Debbie McGee and her ‘so glad we ve had this condescending little chat’
Carol vordeman and her everchanging cheekbones
Anne Robinson harsh manner and her poor, badly assaulted face
Keith Lemon, Vile creature
Simon cowel, and Ryan Clarke for their silly vain knashers
Joanna lumleys breathiness
The arrogant men’s men Piers Morgan Jeremy clarkson Trump ….the bullies

Some people others don’t like but I actually do… I like listening to RusselBrand I think he talks a lot of sense I don’t mind Naga at all and Chris Packham is ok too
I m sure I ll think if many more
But I agree about Cliff yucky and Princess Di and her dramas

polly123 Fri 25-Jun-21 13:31:14

Naga Munchetty, Stacey Dooley, Matt Hancock,Megan Markle, somebody Bushell (sport bore), Danny Diar,Jonathon Ross....I could go on..

katy1950 Fri 25-Jun-21 13:36:41

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.

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?

Tooyoungytobeagrandma Fri 25-Jun-21 13:53:52

Mr Tumble (Justin Fletcher) not Tumple ?

missingmarietta Fri 25-Jun-21 13:59:19

Stephen Fry

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