Me: 1. David Cameron although of course it is a very close run thing with 2. Boris Johnson and 3. Nigel Farage - nuff said.

  1. Jeremy Corbyn - but actually I can't bring myself to hate him all that much for not putting up a strong Labour campaign against Brexit because he never pretended he was a Remainer himself. He is and always has been pro-Brexit from a different angle. He probably shouldn't have been elected leader in the first place.

I've voted Labour in the GE for the entirety of my voting life (since 1983) but at this moment I don't actually feel any anger towards Theresa May - I rather grudgingly admire her. She knows her time as leader is short lived. I have yet to see anyone saying anything tangible about how they could have done it better!

Dh and I are both passionate, passionate Remainers. But we can't support a second vote - it will result in the most horrendous civil unrest! Anyone who thinks the 48% who voted to leave the EU will just quietly accept a different result from a second referendum is deluded.

And so I come back to most visceral hatred for a political figure just now = Cameron for putting us here. It sickens me to the pit of my stomach, thinking of him living his rarified, cosy, massively over-privileged Eton-educated life in Chipping fucking Norton, earning millions as a public speaker off the back of his very short time in politics, running away from the mess he created. What a complete and utter ARSE.

Jacob Rees Mogg. I still struggle to believe he's a real person and not an actor playing a part.

So funny!!! I feel the same he should be in some crappy Rom com !!! Grin

But obviously it has to be David smug face Cameron!!

Iain Duncan Smith. The vile behaviour he displayed when the cuts to tax credits were announced. His face showed sheer delight. He wouldn't have a clue what it's like to live on benefits. They come from a different world.

DramaAlpaca · 15/01/2019 21:44

Cameron for getting the country into this mess, closely followed by Corbyn.

GCSocScientist · 15/01/2019 21:44

Cameron, BoJo, Gove, Corbyn, but more so the idiocy of Momentum for insisting Corbyn had anything to offer as Leader of the opposition..and thereby fucking over the party by pushing it into the political hinterlands.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 15/01/2019 21:46

Cameron. Danny Dyer was right.

Time40 · 15/01/2019 21:46

Mine's still Tony Blair, for so very many reasons.

GCSocScientist · 15/01/2019 21:46

Jacob Rees Mogg. I still struggle to believe he's a real person and not an actor playing a part.

And that little pearl too. Grin

BurpsandHustles · 15/01/2019 21:47

Tony Blair on so many levels.

surferjet · 15/01/2019 21:47

Tony Blair - all this is his fault.

megcustard · 15/01/2019 21:49

Cameron and Boris Johnson.

CoolCarrie · 15/01/2019 21:51

It’s easier to say who I like, than the ones I can’t stand.

Jackshouse · 15/01/2019 21:52

Cameron and Gove. Although I suspect Gove works hard and tries to do a good job.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 15/01/2019 21:53

That's interesting. The referendum on staying in or leaving the EU is all Tony Blair's fault? Can anyone remind me? .

Actually I think David Milliband has a lot to answer for. If he hadn't jacked it all in to sod off to America we would be looking at a very different political climate right now.

I wouldn't say I hate him (he's not even an mp) but without him dabbling in the career his brother was more cut out for, Ed might've stood more of a chance at becoming PM. If he'd stuck around I think he would've become the Labour leader and Labour would've won. Meaning Cameron couldn't have sparked off this total mess and then ran away.

As for who I strongly dislike, Cameron and Boris. Both putting their own egos and agendas before anything else, lighting the touch paper and then standing back and watching everyone burn.

TooTrueToBeGood · 15/01/2019 21:54

Blair. Took us into a war on a lie. The man has the blood of countless hundreds of thousands of people on his hands.

whenthewhistleblows · 15/01/2019 21:55

Cameron, Johnson, Farage, Corbyn, Rees-Fuckwitt.

whenthewhistleblows · 15/01/2019 21:56

Distinctly unlearn on Junker too. He does little to portray the eu in a positive way.

EnidButton · 15/01/2019 21:56

Then again I thought Ed M was a good candidate and I really like him as a politician so fuck knows what everyone else saw that election. Now look.

whenthewhistleblows · 15/01/2019 21:56

Ffsnosexallowed · 15/01/2019 21:58

Cameron for starting this whole bloody thing and May.

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 15/01/2019 22:00

Johnson Johnson Johnson

Cameron - he cocked up but I don’t hate him like Johnson, Gove, Farage & Rees Mogg. Career politicians - no love for the country

If I have to explain it to you politics really isn’t your thing.
Dissatisfaction with the EU didn’t start the day Cameron took office.

< good grief >
