      Gammon is basically UK version of chud. It refers to the slightly reddish tinge of our white supremacists skin tone because they all either have alcohol poisoning or are slightly sunburned.

      Under no circumstances is it racist. It refers to a very specific group of people who are racists themselves.

        Also, specifically the kind of middle aged white guy who is always pink with anger.

        That's what these gammons never seem to get. A white person isn't automatically a gammon. A middle aged white guy yelling until he's red in the face about how saying "gammon" is racist or Corbyn should nuke the world, or that any footballer kneeling should be deported is a gammon.

        Don't want to be called a gammon? Stop acting like one.

          Gammon is an insult based on behaviour, not race. Theoretically a reactionary black guy could be gammon too, alhough the racism of the other gammons makes it highly unlikely.

            I think there was some manufactured outrage about Corbyn not wanting to instruct Trident submarines to retaliate in the event that someone nuked Terf Island.

                Nukes loose their aphrodisiac effect to gammons when they are in the hands of someone not willing to use them to genocide foreigners.

                  How did this weird hypothetical even enter the conversation?

                    It was in the televised BBC debates during the 2017 election. And worse, I seem to remember it wasn't about retaliation, it was about whether he would likely destroy the world with a preemptive nuclear strike if Britain was ambiguously 'threatened'. Corbyn basically said no and the next half dozen questions from the audience were just pink faced men frothing at the mouth demanding he plunge the earth into a post-nuclear hellscape to ensure they never had to see a halal kebab shop.

                        2:1 odds he was some young conservative lobbyist group member who just happened to have met the audience booker for Question Time at an event called Modernizing The Northern European Right where they joked about how Britain First have the right idea but a terrible brand.

                      I have the memory of 150 chuds clapping like seals at the notion of making Threads a documentary permanently seared into my brain :ukkk:

            I mean yeah, go for it if you like. You have my permission on behalf of white people. If newspaper columnists write hundreds of articles about it just tell them MolotovHalfEmpty said it was cool.

        rednecks have a class basis, in reality the most disgusting freaks are the bourgeoisie who don't go outside to do work

          That's true except over here this lot get it from sitting topless in the beer garden of the pub not from working outdoors. I discourage "chav" usage wherever I see it.
