Football
With a few exceptions, obviously, football fans are the lowest level
of humanity. Especially northern ones. Especially Liverpudlian ones.
The whole Heysel/Hillsborough thing proves it. Dirty scouser bastards.

The Thick of It
I hate hypocrites
Coldplay, and in particular Chris Martin, are often vocal about their
hatred of capitalism.
And did anyone see the colour of the Coldplay iPod? Ugly as sin.
DVDs
Of course, they also get a lot of it on TV. Just look at the average BBC America schedule for an idea of what I mean. Hour after hour of Benny Hill and Monty Python's Flying Circus. We NEVER see Benny Hill in the UK, and rarely get to behold Python.
Australia are just as bad/lucky, though. They always seem to see The Goodies, but I don't remember it ever being on here! Boo hiss boo.

Everyone hates France!
By Henry Samuel in The Telegraph
Language, history, cooking and support for rival football teams still divide Europe. But when everything else fails, one glue binds the continent together: hatred of the French.
Typically, the French refuse to accept what arrogant, overbearing monsters they are.
But now after the publication of a survey of their neighbours' opinions of them at least they no longer have any excuse for not knowing how unpopular they are.
Why the French are the worst company on the planet, a wry take on France by two of its citizens, dredges up all the usual evidence against them. They are crazy drivers, strangers to customer service, obsessed by sex and food and devoid of a sense of humour.
But it doesn't stop there, boasting a breakdown, nation by nation, of what in the French irritates them.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Britons described them as "chauvinists, stubborn, nannied and humourless". However, the French may be more shocked by the views of other nations.
For the Germans, the French are "pretentious, offhand and frivolous". The Dutch describe them as "agitated, talkative and shallow." The Spanish see them as "cold, distant, vain and impolite" and the Portuguese as "preaching". In Italy they comes across as "snobs, arrogant, flesh-loving, righteous and self-obsessed" and the Greeks find them "not very with it, egocentric bons vivants".
Interestingly, the Swedes consider them "disobedient, immoral, disorganised, neo-colonialist and dirty".
But the knockout punch to French pride came in the way the poll was conducted. People were not asked what they hated in the French, just what they thought of them.
"Interviewees were simply asked an open question - what five adjectives sum up the French," said Olivier Clodong, one of the study's two authors and a professor of social and political communication at the Ecole Superieur de Commerce, in Paris. "The answers were overwhelmingly negative."
According to Mr Clodong, the old adage that France is wonderful, it's just the French who are the problem, is shared across Europe.
"We are admired for our trains, the Airbus and Michelin tyres. But the buck stops there," he said.
Another section of the study deals with how the French see the rest of Europe.
"Believe it or not, the English and the French use almost exactly the same adjectives to describe each other - bar the word 'insular'," Mr Coldong said. "So the feelings are mutual."

England is Conservative
Yes, England is Conservative, and I'm proud of it. The Conservative
Party received far more votes in England than Labour did.
Geographically, the majority of the UK, nevermind just England, is
blue. Labour win because they hold the hundreds of minute urban
constituencies, and constantly reform the constituency boundaries so
that they have more. Conservative constituencies tend to be extremely
large, and have many electorates.
Scotland and Wales aren't any better. Their representatives get to
vote on issues in Westminster which only concern England, but English
MPs do not get a vote on issues in Scotland or Wales. This is
completely racist against England and the English, promoted by a
predominantly Scottish government.
Sitcoms
Why are so many new sitcoms now filmed in a documentary style? It's
not original, it's not clever, but primarily, it's not funny.

EU bans working
Looks like from the end of this week, people will not be allowed to even CHOOSE to work more than 48 hours a week.

How did Labour win?
For one, they claimed that the Conservatives wanted to charge for NHS operations. WRONG
They also said that "Tory sums don't add up". WRONG
...Nevermind the fact that [Labour] had no policies WHATSOEVER. Their whole election campaign can be summed up like so - "TORIES BAD. WE'RE NOT THEM. VOTE LABOUR."
Also by getting The Sun on-side, but that's another matter.
