I'm proud to say that the Daily Mail hates me. Does it hate you too?
Are you hated by the Daily Mail?

Spoiler alert - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I'm a straight, married man, in a job, and both my parents were born in the UK. All that counted against me was a "No" to Michael Gove, voting Labour (twice!) and a beard that could make me look like a Muslim. Still I suppose that's enough to mark me as "Hated". They didn't even ask if I worked in the public sector.

I am hated. Though funnily enough, my mum continues to buy the Daily Mail as she skips over the politics and goes straight for their 'human interest' stories. The crossword is just about her level too. Yet when I answered as though I were here, she was hated too.

Not being Michael Gove pushes me over the edge. It's hard to feel proud of being hated by the Daily Mail when all you need to qualify is not being Michael Gove. Even Farrage gets a quarter of the way there.

I had to adjust my answers so they applied to the U.S. Nevertheless, as it turns out, I am hated, too. What a relief!

The Daily Heil hates me too, though this comes as no surprise. Simply being female is one strike against you and you only get four strikes before you're out.
I answered as if I was my mother and she got to 'Detested'... possibly because, as an OAP, she does not have a job.
I thought the 'Michael Gove?' question was asking 'do you like him?' not 'are you him?' but as I would say no to both questions it made no difference to my result. [ 03. October 2013, 13:01: Message edited by: Jane R ]

I never even got asked if I was Michael Gove or not - I was safely basking in the Mail's hatred before then

I managed to be "loathed" even though I answered "yes" to the Michael Gove question (I thought they meant "does he exist?" ).
I suppose being female must have counted against me ...
I've never bought the Mail, so I really couldn't care less what they think of me; considering that the highest accolade they can offer is "ignore", I don't think I'll be starting now.

I'm either detested or loathed depending on wind farms (I'm not sure how I feel about how they look). I'm afraid there's not much chance of improving my score. Even if I grow a beard I won't look much like a Muslim, I'm too late for pre-marital sex, and I think the Queen needs to be saved by God as much as anyone else does.

It took me 7 questions (straight, white and employed all made them like me). Fortunately I'm a single female and don't think everything was better in the old days, so I made it to hating pretty swiftly. Phew! I'd feel a little awkward if the hatred wasn't mutual.

Woohoo! They don't hate this Guardian reading pinko - I am merely loathed. Married white heterosexual male obviously helps bigtime. Plus the fact that they didn't ask where I was born, only my parents.

Nice one. Merely being gay and single is enough to push me into detested territory. After that, I had to lie about some answers just to get to the end of the quiz.
