she's a massive racist, but i'm not so sure you can go that far in life being as stupid as we are led to believe.

in the event of a GE i expect labour to hide her away again in case she puts her foot in it (again).

Re: Diane Abbott
And this:

A term of derision used by the metropolitan elite to describe those with differing views and opinions.
It specifically refers to their skin colour (white) - which is a bad thing in such social circles.
Often used by far left elements of the British Labour party to describe working class Labour Party voters.
Also often used by pro-EU supporters to shut down Brexit debates and paint any opposition as racists.
Oh Bestrice, look at those dirty gammon over there complaining about the level of immigration!

Re: Diane Abbott
And this:

Collective noun for white, middle-aged, furious-faced men who are heavily concentrated in the vast reaches of England's Brexit heartlands.

Spitting out talking points found in fascist organs like the Daily Mail (or, for those preferring something less intellectual, the Daily Express), gammon exist in a state of perpetual outrage and exasperated "I'm just an ordinary bloke, me" confusion.

Core traits:

- They favour Brexit. After all, it means Brexit.
- Because the Conservative Party and the right-wing media ecosystem have told them to, they reject those things that underpin their jobs, living standards and opportunities: environmental protections, workers' rights, regulations favouring consumers, the European Union, the single market and the customs union. These things also benefit people they don't like (including foreigners and Guardian readers), of course, so they have to go.
- On the off-chance that they're aware of a border in Ireland, they don't know anything about it.
- They dislike multiculturalism and the 'equality agenda', and obsess about 'lefties', immigrants, Jeremy Corbyn ("Would 'e launch a nuke?! WELL, WOULD 'E?!") and the fabled liberal metropolitan elite.
- They hate Muslims, so they voted for the UK to withdraw from a free trade bloc comprising countries made up of white Christians.
- Having spent 40 years bellyaching about the UK's democratic decision to enter the EEC, they are now unbending guardians of its democratic decision to leave.

Re: Diane Abbott
OH and this one:

The quintessential example of white fragility, gammon was a term that came into the mainstream after a sea of portly white men were spotted on BBC Question Time getting very red in the face whenever Brexit and / or immigration came up as a topic. The term was quickly labelled as a racist slur and was criticised for poking fun at the truly oppressed group of white middle aged men who vote Tory and / or Leave, despite the fact its origin of use went back to Charles Dickens using the term in 1838 to describe a man of "gammon" complexion.

The term is often described as one only used by the 'out of touch' liberal elite yet its usage is solely attributed to people who voted Leave, follow Tommy Robinson on Facebook and really, really enjoy darts.
Leave voter - "There's too many Polish people in Britain, and they're all bloody benefits scroungers."
Remain voter - "That's such a gammon statement to make."
Leave voter - "THAT'S RACIST. SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT."

Re: Diane Abbott
BTW the urban dictionaries definition of Gammon:

A term used to describe a particular type of Brexit-voting, europhobic, middle-aged white male, whose meat-faced complexion suggests they are perilously close to a stroke.

The term 'gammon' is linked to the unhealthy pink skin tone of such stout yeomen, probably because of high blood pressure caused by decades of 'PC gone mad', being defeated in arguments about the non-existent merits of Brexit and women getting the vote.

Gammon often make their appearance on BBC's Question Time jabbing their porcine fingers at the camera while demanding immediate nuclear strikes against Remain-voting areas, people who eat vegetables and/or cyclists.

When gammon appears en masse it is often referred to as a "wall of gammon".

Following the rise in prominence of the term 'gammon' in mid-2018, hoards of basement dwelling alt-righters organised on /pol/ and other online alt-right backwaters to remove the above definition, which best fits common usage of the word, from Urban Dictionary. This followed a mass campaign of faux outrage from alt-right online publications and media pundits in which they attempted to portray the term as racist or classist. In reality, it best compares to the British phrase "Disgusted of Tonbridge Wells".

The first known usage of the term 'gammon' to describe the complexion of men of an overly-jingoistic fashion dates from as far back as 1838 in a description of Mr Gregsbury, a Member of Parliament, in Charles Dickens' novel, Nicholas Nickleby.
1. Did you see Question Time last night? It was absolutely rammed with gammon.

2. Some random gammon started posting "Ingland 4 the Inglish!!! Give us Brexit now" all over my mum's Facebook.

3. Oi gammon, pipe down, or you'll do yourself a mischief!

4. Brexit is a gammonite phenomenon born out of europhobia and an overconsumption of tabloid induced euromyths.

Re: Diane Abbott
Getting a fair degree result from a top university doesn't necessarily make one a good politician, or frankly a good anything else.

There are plenty of similarly educated people who are thick as pigshit in many ways, (common sense, socially) likewise there are plenty of very smart and wise people who didn't even go to university. There are undoubtedly plenty of people in her own party who would be far better than her at the job of shadow home secretary.

She's a highly educated moron.

And I also think Labour could probably nominate a glove puppet in Hackney to stand for parliament and still win. Her majority isn't necessarily an indication of her prowess.

Re: Diane Abbott
Gammon is a reference to fat, ruddy faced people who seem a little animated by certain political issues but mostly those people who love calling people names so offering a collective name for them helps them band together. Like black people calling themselves the N word you should just own it with pride?

Re: Diane Abbott
I would say that the better the facilities, tutoring etc the easier it would be to get a higher grade HOWEVER if they do their grades in comparison to the other students at the uni then that makes more sense and I retract my slurs.

Was having an interesting conversation with a former lecturer recently who quit over stuff like this. He says that the most important thing for unis now is to secure funding and the best way to secure funding is to W sure students get good grades. This means that more students will be attracted to that uni and thus more ££.

Because of this he says he was basically to upgrade students results and give them higher grades than there work warranted. As a result he quit out of principle but he says plenty are happy to go along with this as it’s win win for everyone

Re: Diane Abbott
I'm a lefty but I can't stand the term Gammon.

It is basically a racial insult.

Saying "it's only about a certain group of white people" thus making it alright is like using a racial insult about black people and saying "well obviously I don't mean all of them". Even though "Gammon" is mainly used by white people - because some of the left are idiots now.

Plus the fact that when she went only 5% of students went to ANY uni and she went to one of the very best.

Its not like now when you go to the university of Preston to do media studies and get a 2.2. That would be like being an amoeba.
