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.

It is perfectly obvious people are talking about who they dislike (although stronger words are used) fir a variety of reasons, nothing to do with instant irrational dislike.
I am entitled to say what I think about a thread,

Carol Klein from Gardeners Word. So over the top and gushing, think she has been feeding herself Growmore instead of her plants. Kate Humble on the same vein, just don't find gushing and cooing people to be sincere.

Never having personally met Jeremy Clarkson am I in a position to say 'I dislike him'? after all he could be the most charming like able person I have yet to meet.

Me too re Carol Klein. I’m sure she’s really lovely but I have a problem with people that always talk and smile at the same time. But again I’m saying that someone irritates me, not that I dislike them.

Philip Schofield and his day time TV co presenter, Holly somebody.

On the political front (though hardly I can call this irrational) Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings.

Funnily enough, I do not mind Piers Morgan. Yes, he comes across as a right twonk at times and it is'nt often I agree with his views, though I think what saves him from being insufferable is his self awareness and (often very humourous) self deprecation. I've read a couple of his books where both of these qualities are very evident.

Forgot to add Laurence Fox, takes himself far too seriously in his self assummed 'hero of anti woke' role.

Such a shame, I always enjoyed his work as an actor on TV.

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 was Granny23 mentioning that she feels the same way towards Mr. Tumble as she did towards Jimmy Saville. Knowing what we do about Saville now, it seemed somewhat unfair on Fletcher's character. Apologies for jumping to conclusions.

David walliams, Naga Munchattie and another one for Rylan.

Meghan Markle - and, yes, on first sight! Knew immediately it would not work. Just call my Mystic NotTooOld.

me not my

Tony Blair, Nicola Sturgeon, Gordon Brown, Jeremy Clarkson, Steph somebody with the horrible accent (I come from Manchester too!).

Well, I suppose we could take heart from the fact that these people are disliked for no rational reason.

Always thought that was the case.

Alegrias1 agreed

Harry Hill - cant stand him to look at or to listen to.
Meghan - just fed up of her.
Lorraine Kelly
Alison Hammond
Mike Bushell

that's it for now

Some comments purely show political leanings. Nobody on the left will accept that Jeremy Corbyn has been linked to Palestinian terror groups and if you take the proposition that most people will have built in prejudices about people they see on TV. I found this thread most interesting and some choices made me think. I agree that Gary Lineker is irritating on so many levels and I do think the BBC overpays him. I smiled at the references to Nigel Farage and can understand how annoying his whole manner is. I had no idea about Jennifer Saunders being so annoying or Judi Dench’s voice! I did agree about Emma Thompson . She lives very near me, next door to her mother , Phyllida Law. Her husband Greg Wise , was a very attractive man! I also agree with the choice of Jeremy Clarkson, who acts like a small boy with his car driving mates. But then I watched Clarkson’s Farm and he was able to laugh at himself which is a good human trait. I see he has a glamorous girl friend much younger than him, silly old goat.
Thank you for starting this thread! Very thought provoking. And I like Cliff Richard for his voice and was disappointed that people did not like Ricky Gervais. He is rather cocky but I forgive that because he gives his money away generously to animal causes and he truly loves animals! Me too!

Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

I can without question dislike any person/s who chose to pronounce the word FOR as FIR/FER.What does this show those wishing to learn correct pronunciation of the English language ?

Jacinda Ardern.

Andrew Marr - sadly I cannot watch any of his documentaries no matter how interesting I find the subject matter, because he fronts them.
Lucy Worsely - smug & coquettish.
Michael Gove - even if I didn't know his politics.

Annaelise Dodds- just been on the News.

Just the sight of her hair irritates me. It looks a mess.

Mind you, so does mine, but I’m not on tv, fortunately.

I'm sure she's a very capable woman but she always looks frighteningly intense.

I did see her once when her small child wandered in during an interview and I did realise then that she is, in fact, human.

Alex Scott ex footballer and tv pundit. Constantly grinning and has lost the letter g from her vocabulary. Eg. Passin the ball, goin across the pitch, waitin for the cross and many many more.

Greenlady 102. I must defend Gareth Malone, who formed the Great British Home Chorus at the beginning of the first Lockdown last year, and taught hundreds of us for free EVERY weekday from his studio shed at the bottom of his garden for around 3 months. As I live on my own it really helped me survive that first stint .
Recently I've been singing with the Stay at Home Choir, which coincidentally has released our latest piece today, which is Songbird , with the King Singers.
