Johnson doesn't support Johnson on Brexit, he knows he doesn't have a clue what to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but I don't see how anyone can support him specifically on Brexit when he doesn't have a policy, just irreconcilable promises to opposite sides of the argument. I suppose people might believe that he'll somehow blag his way through. Edited June 21, 2019 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again not the point I'm making as someone who is no longer a spring chicken and has an English parent I get pee'd off with that attitude that is allowed to go unchallenged here that everyone over 40 and English hold a certain view. The Da patter is chronic. and as for gammon, well if stereotyping someone on race gender and age isn't "gammon" I don't know what is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Your prejudices are slipping. Unfortunately there are a lot of young folk and Scots old and young who support Johnson on Brexit.Are you seriously trying to suggest that the lurch to the extreme political right in the UK, and England in particular, is not intrinsically connected to racial attitudes ? Brexit is this phenomenon writ large and the word 'Immigration' runs through it like a watermark.And I'll need to take your word for it on Scottish attitudes on Johnson - we obviously move in parallel universes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only point I made is that support for Johnson's latest take on Brexit is not unique to the elderly and the English remember over 1m Scots voted for Brexit. 32 minutes ago, jupe1407 said: "Gammon is waaaycist" Off course it is what would you call making assumption on someone based on race gender and age. It might be one of the least harmful but it's still prejudiced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Nobody's being oppressed because they're being called gammon anymore than my gf's dad is when we call him a "centrist dad". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
