Top 20 Dislikes…<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Donald Trump – frankly I’m not particularly keen on any Republican US president, going back to and including Richard Nixon.<\/li>\n
  2. violence<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. racists<\/li>\n
  4. banks<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. spam emails and chain letters<\/a> & those who send them<\/li>\n
  6. corrupt politicians<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. corporations that needlessly pollute the planet and put their profits before the needs of the people<\/li>\n
  8. warmongers<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. bigots<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. religious zealots<\/a><\/li>\n

  17. British Telecom<\/a><\/li>\n
  18. people who let their dogs crap on the pavement & don’t clean it up<\/li>\n
  19. Tony Blair (never trust a man who smiles that much). Actually I really dislike this grinning, lying two-faced shyster. But my contempt for the man is such that I do not think he deserves to be top of anything.<\/li>\n
  20. those little packets of ketchup that split in the wrong place and squirt their contents all over your trousers!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
