I saw this on twitter and it so resonates with me.

“Can someone tell me who we are supposed to be hating this week please?

Is it the nurses, railway workers, teachers, or immigrants, and of course we hate the EU all the time.

It is so difficult to keep up”

Overseas students.

Witzend Fri 25-Nov-22 19:39:44

The Tories, surely?

crazyH Fri 25-Nov-22 19:43:37

No Riverwalk- the fees they pay, subsidises the salaries of the teachers/lecturers.

Juliet27 Fri 25-Nov-22 19:45:41

Royal Mail workers

Back to BoJo and Ms Truss for me, making yet more trouble when they should be hanging their heads in shame.

Oh, and the delightful man who dropped his nearly empty hamburger containers on our drive.

And then there's the person who parked their car in such a way in the communal area so that DD's car was stuck in her garage when she should have been driving to London.

Not to mention the company that fitted new windows for my mum - and they let the rain in.

Then. of course, there's always Jeremy Vine.

Think that should be enough to be going on with for me. Who's on your list?

Yes I know that - I think some of you have misunderstood the OP!

The scammers-they seem to have me lined up this week. My ‘blocked’ list is huge.

Grannybags Fri 25-Nov-22 20:02:05

Anyone trying to sell me a Black Friday bargain. I’ve had far too many emails from them all

I think it’s the GPs. It’s often their turn to be hated, even sadly by some Gransnetters.

Callistemon21 Fri 25-Nov-22 20:31:03

I couldn't possibly say
🤐

Dinahmo Sat 26-Nov-22 14:58:59

None of those mentioned in the OP.

All those who are trying to convince us that Brexit is, or will be, a good thing. Not just this week but every week.

But my god if i could get my hands on her.

We hate the TV schedulers... everything on TV is moved around or not shown at all when there's a major sporting event.

We don't all like sport!! Oh yes, there's always i-player, they say - well put the sport on there, we say!

Fewer BBC radio stations and a dedicated BBC Sports Channel - surely that would be a good idea?

fiorentina51 Wed 30-Nov-22 12:55:22

Today, I am mainly hating EVRI/HERMES delivery drivers.

Same here.

We are coming up to the season of goodwill and “hate” is such a strong word but social media can do a hatchet job on anyone.

growstuff Wed 30-Nov-22 14:09:46

Meghan and Harry, trans people, Albanians ... the usual.

DaisyAnne Wed 30-Nov-22 14:29:51

The haters?

GrannyGravy13 Wed 30-Nov-22 14:47:28

I’m a lover not a hater

I think we all like to think that, but those hoping to create division are betting that many of us are not and easily led.

Migrants anyone?

People who keep shouting on TV programmes.
