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”

Police, firefighters, doctors, nurses, paramedics, teachers, intellectuals, French, Germans, Scots Nationalists, Irish, Welsh you name it…… any other non English nationality

DaisyAnne I think he also made an idiotic remark about how wonderfully state schools had performed during Covid? He appears to think that, because they just about coped with that, they don't need the sort of help he's pouring into private schools.

growstuff I hope you are speaking for yourself regarding hatred of migrants as you are not speaking for me.

I object to criminal gangs, people traffickers and those who wish to do harm to others.
object not hate

No, I wasn't speaking for myself at all - nor you. However, look around you - even on GN - and it's not hard to find hatred of migrants.

Sainsbury’s for not having my favourite biscuits when I was there today. Empty shelf where they should have been.

Binmen this week, mine left one bin full up and emptied the other one angry

Football pundits. They go on and on ......

Why, just why?

It seems Sunak is attacking parents who send their children to State schools. There was a definite "look at their lack of aspiration" in PMQs.

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?

Hatred of migrants is endemic and normalised.

LadyGracie Wed 30-Nov-22 17:47:43

Too many to mention

LRavenscroft Wed 30-Nov-22 17:29:50

People who keep shouting on TV programmes.

The haters?

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

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

Farzanah Wed 30-Nov-22 13:50:42

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.

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

Same here.

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

Oh, so sorry. forgot to mention 'anyone watching the football'.

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?

timetogo2016 Wed 30-Nov-22 12:28:36

Same here Callistemon21.
But my god if i could get my hands on her.

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.

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

I couldn't possibly say
🤐

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