The last working-class hero in England.

Kira the cat, ? ? 2010 - 3 August 2018
Jasper the Ruffian cat ? ? ? - 4 November 2021

A literate person would call it "hope"

and not need to mention its opposite, which is obvious. Effing English Lit graduates.

...and all that's just redundancy.

Quite the leason.

He should have got me in as his copy-editor. I can't read a history text without a pencil these days. Have I mentioned that these days if you say you're English, you get arrested and thrown in gaol?

Hope Hull City can win, but otherwise don’t not-hope Blackburn Rovers.

"Have I mentioned that these days if you say you're English, you get arrested and thrown in gaol?"

-looking at the Euros, it might be a good idea.
A crafty England would delete all their passports whilst they were out the country in foreign gaols, removing Englands entire population of balding fat loud drunks in a jiffy. Imagine all the extra room, the peace and quiet, oh and all the votes Farage would lose...

How is 'hate' the obvious opposite to 'hope'? I would have thought 'despair' or 'despondency' would fit the bill better. The classic opposite to 'hate' is 'love'.

Not that I'm one for simple binaries. There's yang in the yin and yin in the yang.
