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 keep reading on social media all the cries for help from doctors.
It is quite awful. I absolutely hate what this government has done to destroy the NHS we were so proud of just a decade ago.

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.
I don't hate a single one of those people. They are my fellow human beings. OTOH, I loathe and detest the tories and their supporters, who don't seem to have a drop of human, or humane, blood in them.
They have been variously described as vermin and scum. I can't help but agree...
Think it goes back further than a decade, much further.
Plus the population has really gone up here.
It can’t be one thing but many that have gone wrong over the years.
That is a hate filled post MaizieD 😲

It certainly is, Oreo and I make no apology for it.
In 70+ years I can't recall the tories ever doing a decent thing.

As you know I voted for this government, I am neither vermin or scum, nor are any of the Conservatives I know.
I know a lot of Conservatives. And Labour voters. And others. Some are family members. They get on well together as well . The bile filled hatred by some towards any political party is baffling to me.

It is certainly a very stupid post.
In what way, *eazybee". It seems to me to be very rude to say this to a poster without backing your opinion.
Maybe you just don't know how?

We seem to be bringing out the ignorance on this thread. Surely it will be against the GN guidelines to call another member "vermin and scum". What on earth evidence have you when it comes to being so personally rude?

Ah, I should have read more carefully. Whatever someone thinks of the Tories I am sure that these words should not be used against another member.
Ganglords who traffick innocent people, inject them with drugs to get them addicted so they can control them and force them into prostitution, organised begging and growing drugs, to name a few occupations I know of.
Not sure why the government isn't doing more to track down these criminals and abolish modern slavery.

My fault for not taking proper time to read posts GrannyGravy.
This week my grotty award goes to Mrs Snotty who brought her germs and snivels to our social event and didn't care when challenged by another member.
I don't hate anyone.But the closest would be Putin.I hate what he's done and the spiral of hatred he's created.
From some comments my lovely late father is law must have been scum.Self made successful businessman. A Conservative parish Councillor. Quietly generous and philanthropic. Raised loads of money to renovate a narrow boat to be used by local charities supporting disadvantaged and disabled children.Did loads in the community including fighting to keep the library open.Plus numerous other things I only learnt after he died.What a scumbag .
Washerwoman well said.
There are good and bad people of every political persuasion.
Some terms are completely unacceptable.
Washerwoman posts "I don't hate anyone.But the closest would be Putin.I hate what he's done and the spiral of hatred he's created."
If only more people had p[aid attention to the fact, that in 2016, Vladimir Putin was one of only three foreign politicians supporting the Leave campaign (along with Trump and the French fascist Marine le Pen)
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Not as good as foresight though.
Some of us did warn others in advance but were ignored. It is difficult to compete with the Daily Mail, Express, Torygraph and The Sun.
Radio studio audience laughter. \they get wound up to such a pitch that they'll laugh at anything ...
" .. and the cat shot out of the garden, into the road and under the wheels of a bus" ... peels of manic laughter.
They probably have audience laughter in hell ... and heaven.
And then there's the types who start a slow clap when anyone starts to sing something ... why?

People who clap as a hearse goes by
