I suppose people might believe that he'll somehow blag his way through. 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. 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.

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. 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wouldn't blame you, you see most people don't know that Davidson was born a Siamese twin, her case was unique in that her face was joined right up her twin's arse. The surgeons performed a miracle in surgically separating her from her twins hole but it has left her with a look as if she's permanently smelling shite.

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I don't want Boris as PM of the UK. That's a scary thought. But if it's a choice between him and a Remainer I will take him in the short term. As long as he gets us out of the EU, properly out of the EU, he will have done his job.Aye so long as he does what he can to make sure the tories can legislate to f**k over workers rights and do untold damage to the economy then its all alright, cos either of these things would be terrible. At least now they can still bargain away the NHS to get a sub standard trade deal with the Yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
