Woodrot - you only provide a binary choice Love or Hate. Most of us are too nuanced for that, so why not propose a scaled approach?


1 = Consuming Hatred


10 = Uncritical Love


With ZERO (0) to represent the "frankly I don't give a damn" position.


For your list my scores are:


The Royal Family The Queen - 8, the rest 5


Nick Clegg 0


Thatcher 8


Richard Branson 6


Former members of Genesis 0


Apple 7


And to add a few more:


Ken Livingstone 2


Arthur Scargill 2


New Nexus 2


Stalin 2


Hitler 1


Katie Price 0

A Hate Index?, good work MM!!!


I'm having a think and I'm clearly mellowing in my old age, the royals on masse barely register a 6, Queenie earning herself a 7 for unselfish if rather dull service over the years despite my instinctive republican leanings, though Charlie probably gets a 4.


Tories in a general principal sort of way potter between 5 and 6 though I'm sure I can muster one or two to go lower, ditto labour.


Galloway, he could probably get a 3 in good company with premiership football.


Katie Price is a 0 though what she represents is pretty much 2.


Paying booking fees on gig tickets (at a per ticket basis gggnnrrrrrrrkrkkhkrhrr!!!) is the only thing I can think of that gets a 1.


Oh, and Tony Blair obviously.

Bob Crow and the RMT: 1 (assuming the meter stops there. Else -99)


Camilla: 8 (the lady is just class in her dignified silence)


Ken: 7 (glad he lost the election, but do have a soft spot for him)


Ed Miliband: Meh. High on the Don't-Care-O-Meter. I mean, I'm not sure he actually exists.


The Guardian: 3 or 7, depending on what day it is and what stupid/smart opinion they have posted today.


Judge Judy: 9


Microsoft: 7 (when I am using Word)


Microsoft: 2 (when I am using Excel 2007)

    • This is an extract from an edition with Dave Walker, mediator extraordinaire, born at the Elephant & Castle and still living in Southwark. One of his great achievements is training young people to be peer mediators ... who even step in to work with disputing adults! Just shows what can be achieved and who can achieve it. Pretty much anyone and everyone.  Next week we publish a special edition with Jo Berry who has very powerful story to tell. Further more, there was an invited audience of local people young and old, with whom she engaged in open discussion for an hour. Insights galore!
    • Yes, given the clear (and predictable) failure of Brexit, all the negative effects, and the overwhelming proportion of people agreeing that it has failed, I really can't understand why Labour have gone down the "making it work" road. But then I have no idea of what reversing some or all of it might involve. Also, Reform don't mention Brexit much, do they? If at all.  They push other aspects of what they say they stand for. So the people inclined to vote for them have probably completely forgotten they were ever associated with Brexit.
    • Latest news from the sunlit uplands, on the same day the UK economy 'unexpectedly' shrank 0.1%... As an aside, the cognitive dissonance shown by large parts of the UK electorate over Brexit is quite a thing to behold. I don't think it's controversial to say that Brexit is now considered by a large % of the population to have failed, with the % who see it as a success in single figures. Yet, initial polling for the upcoming Runcorn by-election shows Reform winning what is a relatively safe Labour seat. Now I get protest votes and all that, but Reform were literally the Brexit Party before the rebrand. If there's such a large consensus that Brexit failed, why would so many even consider voting for a party that actively helped deliver Brexit and all the known economic damage it would cause? And that's before you even get to the fantasy economics it presented at the last General Election. Labour haven't helped themselves either, by pursuing a nonsensical 'We can make Brexit work' approach, they have in effect made themselves impotent when it comes to attacking Reform and what they stand for...
    • Recommend Dosa n Chutney in Tooting and Rikshaw in Gypsy Hill for dosas.  The latter a few mins away by train from East Dulwich station.  Karnataka has great food but rather a long way to go plus all those carbon air miles.  Reminds me of some American students in London who would take it in turn to fly back to Chicago or somewhere like that to bring pizzas back.   https://dosanchutney.uk/ https://rikshawrestaurant.com/ My word, free reviews without having to sign up and pay for my food blog.  Crispy Dosa is the chain, not that local though.
