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 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!

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

When did the thread go off track, nanna8?

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.

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 …..

Scammers

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.

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.

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.

I'm back from my very icy, foggy walk. Awful here in South Cambs.
I also hate and am in despair that the government has allowed the NHS to fall into the catastrophic crisis that it is in. At the moment my dh and my ddog are both ill and it's the dog who is getting better treatment.

I hate: People who think they are someone when they are not and who talk to you as if you were deaf and stupid.

Putin.

I hate spam. Scammy emails and spammy emails. I get so many each day.

People who don't pick up their dogs poo! I took my dog out, cleaned up after her and walked straight into another dogs deposit. Took an age to get off my boots. 🤮 Lazy blighters.

Jeremy Clarkson

Putin for the inestimableharm he is causing so many people

No one here just now except maybe the 3 extremist conspiracy theorists who murdered 2 young policeman and a neighbour who went to assist them in Queensland. The 3 of them were shot and killed by police marksmen I’m relieved to say.

Jeremy Clarkson ... there are no words to explain what he was thinking.

Qatar ... the football was good but what an awful place.

From the Tory's perspective it doesn't matter so long as our collective hatred is directed not at them. They and the gutter press, aided by their trolls on silos on social media, are really quite adept at continually setting up a focus for hatred. It could be immigrants. Lefty lawyers, civil servants, nurses, the BBC, train drivers, the French, the EU, trade union 'bosses', Channel 4 News, Supreme Court judges, in fact anything but the Tories and their fat cat supporters.

The person who stole a Christmas wreath I put on my Aunt and Uncle's grave. What a hateful, despicable thing to do.

They prob took it for their door Alioop have heard of this happening before now.

Catastrophic crisis is spot on!
It’s getting really scary.
