Gammons are everywhere!

White, middle aged or older, many of them seriously overweight, who get red in the face when they start telling you their views (usually far right wing nasties). They are called gammons.

I found this online -
"Gammon is a pejorative term popularised in British political culture since around 2012, which received press coverage in 2018. In 2018, it became particularly known as a term to describe middle-aged or older men on the political right or who supported Brexit, who are usually, but not exclusively, white."

Sounds pretty tacky to me.
Aren't things polarized enough without this kind of tripe?

@Budwick I am trying to figure out how they arrived at it...and bacon and pigs are typically that to which they refer. You know that during WWII the Japanese thought our POW's had faces like hams...

Wow what an ignorant racist you are. You talk like a progressive but your under belly is racist. I am on the left and I am sad that the left has people like you. You are extremely judgmental. Grow up. I expect I will receive a nasty piece of gob back from you or block me I don't care. But you don't represent the left with your elitist attitude. You are no better than the people you call racist. Oh and by the way I am half black. Or does not meet your standard either.

@wexxxxcccc Did you even consider, during your extremely ignorant rant marathon, to ask why I was so angry with being called vile names for being gay by people I thought I knew, or people I thought were friends. And before that, I had extremely frightening experiences from homophobes? I am left wing and proud, and I certainly dont need any lectures from you. Get over yourself.

@jackieash a lecture gets a lecture. But every white male in the whe world is not responsible for tour trauma. You ever considerate that?

@jackieash Remember yiu are the one who started flinging insults and judgment first that is why you are drawing heat. Oh by the way....you are not the first one to come out. Long before you arrived on the scene fay people were going through much worse than you will ever experience THROUGH the1960'S

@jackieash So every middle aged white person is now a racist because you ran across a couple of ignorant people. You you realize you are racist when you stand up snd virtual signal because you think you have a higher moral ground just because you think you represent and speak for other people of colour?? . That is not only racist in its own way but elitist. Who put you there as the spokesperson for all others? That is typical for people like you. You reslly know nothing about the world and you are totally self-absorbed. When infact you suffer from low self esteem. People like you are so scared of their fragile image and need to belong thst any one challenging them is automatically an enemy or a racist. The world is in trouble if people like you ever run it. Because you will be killing people not matter what colour if yhey don't submit to YOUR beliefs.People are getting sick of this postering shit.Long before you came along there were those middle aged white people actually doing something and putting their lives on the line fir prople from other countries and actually helping them. You stand on your pulpit and scream racist because you have no identity yourself and you are just trying to belong. And that is ok.You are probably a good hearted kind person. You can't be thst bad if you like animals. But your thinking is juvenile and childish and self centred. Grow up a bit and do something to actually helo the people you claim to care about so much. Why don't you start by quitting your job and giving it to someone less fortunate from those countries. Ah but that would be too scary because it would actually impact you for a change. I am sure you don't have a problem offering everyone else's money and support but when it comes to tou you don't practice what you preach. And by the way some of the people you just put down probaly have daughters you age wondering why some one like you spews hate. AND ixpooh is right. You dehumanised people and IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME.Shame on you for trying to justify it.

Oh yeah one more thing.. Start thinking for yourself and use some critical thinking instead of buying into all this crap that like some one else said, only serves to polarize people further I t shows you are gullible and not unique when you spew that bullshit. In fact what you say abd how you dress is conformist. There are 1000's of people just like you thinking they're are unique, sauve, and cool when you are just a dime a dozen and yesterday's news. . Your diatribe serves no one It only serves to prop up yourover inflated ego. You want to stand out and shine, You want to be different and make a mark on this word? Then quit judging people and get off your ass and do something to change the world, because right now your mentality is the same as those extreme right wing racists.

@jackieash or even calling white middle aged men gammons! Yes you are right, there are a lot of people around like that that Call ALL people these things when they find there point of view threatened Wonder how you woukd handle it if a person of colour disagreed with you and CALLED you our dor your racist judgmental comnents or called you out for self appointinf yourself their spokesperson? They do have their own voices you know and a person line you might actually frighten them and xause them harm indirectly by drawing unwanted attention to them, when in fact they have a better way to deal with situations then you offer. Ever think of that?? They just MIGHT be smart enough to handle these situations without your help ya? Or do you think they are weak stupid people with no voice that need your help?? Lol. Now what you should do is get yourself some therapy to find out why your need to "belong" is so great that you have to polarize and judge people to make you feel better about yourself. That is the real issue here.

And, they think they know everything, but can't seem to back up their claim.
