This is about an apparent new term which is being used to describe the white old men who apparently rule the world and caused Brexit.

They're being called gammon.

It's supposed to be offensive or something but I don't really understand it to be honest. If it gains traction and becomes a real buzzword for people to use as a means of shutting down sensible debate, then yeah it'll become something of a problem because it invites the same sort of blind prejudice as every other collective term chucked around in society. For now, however, "Shut up you gammon" sounds like an insult used by a teenager trying to be edgy.

So it's an insult? Find a popular, tasty and traditional food and call people you don't like it?

So do we have to call bremainers after some foreign food everyone insists is good for you but will turn out to be like dust in your mouth. One which is culturally acceptable to jewish and muslim minorities?

Falafels?

Or have I just over-extended a metaphor?

Ermmm...no. You can be a female and still a massive gammon. Like May.

Also if you are easily offended there is PC term: cured ham. Or gammoaner.

Beeing UKIP's gammon hurts though Crying or Very sad

So many questions. Gammon's what? Lefty's who? etc.

Val why do you feel it necessary to be racist? Do you not have any constructive arguments to make?

Why do you think it's acceptable to be so intolerant of others?

Such Edge. Very bandwagon.

You're just joining in on what you think is "popular" so you fit in with others who share your ability to debate - resort to insults.

Now you're talking about it like you've always said it and because we haven't heard of it we must all be idiots. The truth is, we heard this term at about the same time you did.

It's not very catchy is it.

I mean snowflake has a nice kind of wishy washy feel to it.

Islamaphobe is clever in that it sounds like a legitimate phobia like agoraphobia.

Racist is a nice all accompanying accusation that has the ability to ruin lives (loony lefties love throwing that around).

But a gammon? Can you imagine going up to a copper and bawwing 'He called me a gammon'? It's not quite in the same league as the n word, raggy head or even paki for being insulting.

Must try better.

I now realise that I was wrong to vote for Brexit, and am a Nazi. How do I undo the evil that I did? Just, please, please, don't call me gammon again, oh Knight Who Says Gammon.

Alternatively, you've crossed the line from amusing to tedious, so have a fish to go with your spam.

It's just pure racism

Would Val be happy going around calling black people a burger patty?

No, so why do you insist on making this sort of thing legitimate?

They know what they're doing, but i'm not falling for their sad little games.

The far left is the reason jews are now deserting the labour party.
