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”

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

I don't hate my GP, but I am a very vocal and angry Gransnetter, about the lack of care in the last few weeks, which resulted in my already, fragile health being compromised.

Oh yes, I can find some hatred for her! What a mean thing to do to steal so much money from us, because that's what she's done. It's now safely hidden where it's beyond our jurisdiction, as is she.

Tory Peers who scam the NHS out of £29million for useless PPE and who have now left the country on their luxury yacht. They should be in jail.

The drug companies putting up prices of antibiotics during this Strep crisis causing massive supply issues and the govt health department saying there is no shortage …..

I hate that it is very foggy this morning, -5 and l have to get dressed to take out the old boy... It doesn't matter how old and decrepit he gets he still insists on an early morning walk. I am talking about the dog by the way.

I think hate, in this context, is rather tongue in cheek.

When did the thread go off track, nanna8?

nanna8 Sun 11-Dec-22 04:23:23

Glad this thread is back on track. That is what I dislike ( hate is too strong a word) - people with their own agendas who twist things to suit their own interests.

I hate leaf blowers. They are stupid. What is wrong with sweeping the leaves into a pile and disposing of them? They also make loads of noise and blow the leaves into a pile where they don't stay. Lazy gardening!

I’ve hated him for years NanKate

Now I hate the unidentified man wearing a beanie hat who pushed in front of me in Sainsburys and took the last box of free range eggs off the shelf just as my hand was reaching up for them.angry

PUTIN I’ve hated him since February.

Hate is such a strong word isn’t it? There are things and people I dislike, some of them quite intensely. I’m not sure if I hate someone, (I think you have to know someone personally to reach that conclusion, and the people I have met so far, I do not hate, though some I do dislike, some intensely), though the actions of some people I do hate (eg the actions of some political leaders which are resulting in misery, loss of rights and loss of loved ones for millions).

The ref was biased!!

Not saying that just because but he really was.

kittylester Sat 10-Dec-22 21:37:07

He was dreadful, wasn't he?

I'm not really a hater but I am very, very, very unhappy with the father of our next door neighbours who has blown most of the leaves from their front garden into ours just after our gardener had cleared it.

😄😄😄 - oh sorry didn’t mean to laugh. But I see you point.

Dump them back again!

You have to check with the Daily Express or the Daily Wail.

I seem to remember in the book 1984 people switched on the radio for the "Morning Hate" and were given their instructions.

Oh, my goodness - yes.
