What does it actually mean I have no idea?

Colour me surprised :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don’t particularly care what it means but you’re the one firing off insults here not me and as I’ve stated many times over the years nobody could insult me if their life depended on it.
There’s a bigger problem here though where your sort turn to insults because you don’t agree with the truth.

Yep and that sums up all that’s wrong with 21st century Britain.
lol indeed.

Well,that’s nonsense for a start.

Explain that one.

Answer me this…can you call a black person a ‘gammon’?

Yes. I’ve seen James Cleverly described as such and that Father Calum bloke from GB News. The description is perfectly apt in both cases.

Well it was wrongly used in that case.

I’m sure I don’t need to explain why the description ‘gammon’ is used. It may have connotations of upper class brexit-types but it is down to the gammon-esque look of the skin of middle to upper class white people.

I f*cking abhor racism of any kind but let’s hold everyone to the same account.

I don’t agree. It’s a metaphorical description not a literal one. To think it’s a literal description is a bit dim to be honest.

Why on earth do you think they used the word gammon in the first case?

Metaphorical? :lol: Metaphorically like slices of cooked pig?

This is the problem with stamping racism out of all kinds. People will squirm to vindicate some of this bollocks.

“Predictably, use of the term has sparked controversy, and has even been dubbed 'racist', though prevailing opinion is that this is a laughable contention, or at least difficult to take seriously in relative terms. Perhaps more significantly, gammon has been seen as a left-wing retort to snowflake, a term which emerged in the last couple of years as a dismissive reference to a younger person being 'oversensitive' when they challenge dominant political views. It's also been suggested that the emergence of the two words is a linguistic reflection of the simmering political divide between older people who supported Brexit and the younger generation who didn’t.”

You’re clearly struggling with word definitions, including “metaphor”, “literal” and “racism”. I can’t work out whether you’re an Uber snowflake or an Uber gammon. :lol:
