    Would you call a Black Guy gammon? what about an Asian? Is it a term that is only used agains white guys? Who other than whites would you use it against? In the same way that chav is only ever thrown at white persons, it is a derogatory term that is used against a group based on inherent characteristics.

    Not liking immigrants isn’t an inherent characteristic.

    Of course it's only used against white people you dumbass. There is a reason for that - it's a jokey insult referring to the flushed face colour of an angry person (often a Brexiteer) resembling a joint of gammon. I suppose an angry black person may also exhibit a slight reddening of the skin, but it would hardly resemble the colour of gammon!

    If you honestly think 'gammon' is a racist slur you must be the biggest snowflake this board has ever seen!

    If I remember correctly the remainers were the angry mob who couldn't accept a democratic vote.

    Sorry, we got in first. Gammons were given their nickname (or vile racial slur if you prefer) before the vote.

    You seem to be they type of person that will only accept total agreement with you points and you methods. There are points were I agree with you but I will never accept your methods.

    Those that disagree with you will get nothing but insults because you cannot counter a well put arguement. That is why you call people gammon and chavs, you think you are better than them.

    You are just an extremist that has nothing but hatred to everyone. You are so sure you are right you will try to win by any means necessary. Just a little thing, I voted and campaigned for remain. I have no problems with immigrants as people, my issue is we are just using that another source of cheap labour.

    Get over yourself. You made a stupid statement and got pulled up on it.

    I love your "You are just an extremist that has nothing but hatred to everyone" statement. Drama Queenery of the very highest calibre!

    I really miss gammon, one of the things you can't seem to get in New Zealand. Oh to those days having Sunday lunch as a kid at the Flying Horse with a nice slice of gammon with a fried egg on top and big Coke on the side.

    It's hardly an insult, a bit like Rosbif.

    I'm also a big fan of a nice gammon joint. Cover it in cracked black pepper and slow cook for four hours, then slice off a thick steak and serve with chips and mushrooms and a fried egg on top. Replacing the egg with pineapple is just wrong.

    Mmmm, salty Gammon with egg un chippies. Is there any finer meat? It's not an insult, it's a compliment.
