As a Tory voter, are you offended by being called 'Gammon face'?


Recommended Posts

NO he isn't...!

 

STOP with this Race card...Once and for all..?

 

The man has said nothing wrong...!

 

YOU...on the other hand TRY to turn it into something it isn't..

 

STOP...

 

Eh?

 

I actually agree with a lot of Jonny5’s post as it happens, apart from the dig at the end (presumably targeted at me) which he/she couldn’t resist because they seem to have had a personal issue with me for quite some time.

 

As for the racist angle, many others are arguing that angle. Not me

 

An angry middle aged man is not a separate race of human.

If you google for images of rosacea you will find it seems to affect mostly women, this nonsense about Tory voters, leave voters and right wingers being red faced and angry is utter nonsense ..... all the bitterness and anger both on here and elsewhere seems to be coming from the left wing, middle class , Corbynite and remainer types and the average white working class male is laughing at them :hihi:

 

The textbook racist term 'gammon' is used mainly by an affluent, middle-class metropolitan elite who are strongly opposed to Brexit and consider the lower classes to be very much inferior to them.

 

So it's okay to reduce people on the left to types, but not people on the right?

I personally do not think the term is deliberately racist although there is certainly a connotation. There are plenty of middle aged men of all ethnicities that get disproportionately upset on QT & other programs. Why settle on a term that excludes them if there isn't a racial connotation?

My main problem is that name calling solves nothing and these poor saps need help & understanding NOT disdain.

 

All that said it's certainly ironic to see a certain poster getting ever more irate trying to shout down anyone that dares to disagree with him. I think everybody needs to use patience with him and not resort to.losing our tempers and name calling.

 

I'll hold my hand up & take responsibility for that. The correct title of the thread should have be 'gammon', rather than 'gammon face'

This is why I gave up on politics and stopped voting,i was brought up has a socialist but in recent years I have become embarrassed about the childlike behaviour of some socialists.I no doubt presume some of the right wingers do it as well but it more often than not comes from the left and they often resort to name calling if they are losing the argument.Glad I have back heeled politics.Brexit seems to have brought out the worst in some people.

Could you please explain that to me ? :confused: I have read that post and what you accuse him of makes no sense ( to me) :huh:

 

I’m not accusing him of anything ;)

 

Now you are getting desperate

 

Trying to pin a charge or racism against the use of gammon is like trying to nail jelly to the wall. We all know it.

Oh Lord.

 

Give me strength.

 

I’m not calling Jonny5 a racist or accusing him of anything. I made a comment to demonstrate the ridiculousness of attacking the word gammon as racist.
