Nominative determinism – the UKIP candidate for London Mayor is called Gammons:
- haha, wonderful
but watch, if you go down that route...Nairn - Do people with silly names all end up in UKIP? Nutty Nutalll, Dick Braine, Mark Reckless, Batty Batten, Wayne Kerr, Mike Hunt and now Dr Gammons??kingsteven
- London definitely spoilt for choice this time round. "Running for Mayor" is the trending euphemism for "midlife crisis"Fax_Benson
- London = Florida, politically?Nairn
- Fuck! Laurence Fox hasn't got a chance now.fadein11
- Ok I give up. What is funny about his name?monospaced
- @mono, 'gammon' is a derogatory term for right-wing, middle aged old white men who typically have a small minded nationalist outlookBaskerviIle
- Sums up the base of the UK Independence party perfectly. (gammon on account of the way they go all pink link a ham when they get angry)BaskerviIle
- oh wow I had no idea! How descriptive. To me it’s just a backgammon term, nothing else.monospaced
- Just came here to post this...VOTE REJOIN EU!shapesalad
- gammon as a cut of meat is a salty thick piece of bacon, it is gross and tough and pink and thick, much like brexit voting gammon necked fools.shapesalad
- Haha it's funny because gammon is pink and they are pink haha.
Totally not racist.TOMMYxGUNN - Yeah, Tommy - I am bemused by how oblivious righteous cunts are when they use the term.Nairn
- lol... I've heard it all now.fadein11
- I've been saying this for as long as the term has been popularised. I'm curious to know how it's in any way incorrect.Nairn
- Anyone that uses the term Gammon is signalling their superiority to the "stupid-Brexit-votin... working class. It's not a good look.TOMMYxGUNN
- HOWEVER. The fact this guy is called Peter Gammons and a UKIP candidate, is a funny coincidence.TOMMYxGUNN
- its a bit of an old one now anyway, at the time i remember it being used by a lot of 'nice guys' treading close to #metoo deflecting their wrongs to boomerskingsteven
- My apologies if it's now deemed about British white ethnicity, but isn't it an old Dickensian thing related to how a persons (white obviously) complexion becamefadein11
- pinker after raging about a self perceived slight that made them look even more ridiculous? A perfect summation of Brexit supporters.fadein11
- How gammon is perceived racist is utterly absurd, stereotypical perhaps but I guess it's edgy to call out white race falsehoods while not edgy to support actualfadein11
- race issues, because you know, I'm edgy, I don't actually have any values anymore.fadein11
- On a simpler level it's about those who enjoy an over abundance of pork products. But perhaps I need reeducating.fadein11
- Some even fuck pigs heads at university drinking clubs.fadein11
- So we're agreed it's an insult based upon a persons immutable characteristics.TOMMYxGUNN
- Yep totally racistfadein11
- You went round the houses in your attempt to avoid that conclusion, but you got there in the end.TOMMYxGUNN
- Thanks for the educationfadein11
- ^ cameron popularised the term single ham-diddleykingsteven
- lol. I feel so racist saying it now, year zero for me.fadein11
- lolTOMMYxGUNN
- the snowflake circle is complete.fadein11
- You're hurtin. Bless xTOMMYxGUNN
- Crying liberal tears fella, I may need a support group. Or at least a safe space to virtue signal in joyous cognitive dissonance.fadein11
- Hit me up, I love a good cry.TOMMYxGUNN
- Oh I get it now, because I oppose the term Gammon I must be a rootin tootin right wing nut job. Hence your use of all those buzz words. Clever.TOMMYxGUNN
- I responded to Nairn lol. I must admit I hadn't noticed your comments. You seem really bothered by my opinion though, happy to discuss furtherfadein11
- I'll make it really simple for you:
"GammOn Iz Rashist"fadein11 - The snowflake/crying note was for Nairn?TOMMYxGUNN
- nope, a general one. Oh dear, are we getting down to post time technicalities now? Please expand on your gammon is racist narrative? I'm happy to change myfadein11
- Thank you for using poor English, I understand now, it really highlights your self imagined superiority to us cretins who disagree.TOMMYxGUNN
- Eh? But you still haven't given any argument?fadein11
- Eh? My argument is it's an insult based on skin colour. Name me another skin colour insult that you deem ok?TOMMYxGUNN
- But it's not about ethnicity you MEGADERP. Lol, what a hill to die on.fadein11
- Is DERP racist? Shit, I need to read my SJW manual again.fadein11
- How is it not? You yourself said it is based upon skin colour. I agree this is getting silly. You resulting to insults isn't a good look.TOMMYxGUNN
- Y'can call any cunt what you like, as I do -
I just see this said from some types with little self-awareness. I don't care much, just an observation.Nairn - What other skin colour based insults you comfortable using fadein? Would you call a black brexit voter a gammon?TOMMYxGUNN
- oh my... what a time to be alive.fadein11
- FinTOMMYxGUNN
- This is all free publicity Dr Peter Gammons. If that really is his name.Fax_Benson
