    And you're old, overweight and pink. You tick all the boxes tbh (apart from being bald)"

    Why would you call anybody who voted Brexit a "gammon"?
    What is the logic?

    Also, £1.6k? <rofl>

    1 February 2021 - Jolyon Maugham QC - GOOD LAW PROJECT
    (1) Correspondence with the UK Government has revealed they expect to spend a staggering £1 million defending our judicial review of their decisions to award contracts criticised by the NAO. This is a sum unprecedented in our lawyers’ experience of judicial review proceedings. We can’t but wonder whether they are trying to scare us off – using the bottomless public purse to avoid accountability to the public.
    (2) The UK Government also says, remarkably, that finding out whether they acted lawfully in channelling hundreds of millions or billions to their VIP associates, is not in the public interest.
    (3) We had until recently been working on the understanding that we had raised enough money for our challenges to the UK Government’s awards of hundreds of millions of pounds of PPE contracts to Pestfix, Ayanda, and Clandeboye.
    (4) We were shocked to learn that – having failed to provide the evidence we’ve been asking for since July – The UK Government is threatening a vast disclosure exercise going well beyond what would normally be undertaken in a judicial review. And not just that they have hired an expensive international commercial law firm. They expect to have a team of 30-40 working for up to 3 months on an exercise that has not been requested by us, or by the Court.
    (5) In the experience of our legal team, costs incurred by the UK Government in judicial review proceedings rarely exceed £100,000. Here Government says it has already spent over £325,000, and estimates their total costs will amount to £1 million – a staggering sum for a judicial review.
    (6) Government knows full well that we cannot take existential risk on bringing a single case. So we wrote to the UK Government asking it to agree and order ‘capping’ both our costs and the taxpayers’ costs in these public interest proceedings.
    (7) We were shocked this week to receive their response contending that the litigation is not in the public interest, and refusing our proposed reciprocal cap: “In particular our client does not agree that the proceedings are ‘public interest proceedings'”. These are cases involving on Government’s own admission hundreds of millions of pounds being spent on unusable facemasks on companies that went through the VIP lane.
    (8) NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST ? WHAT ARE THEY ON !
    (9) The point is all the more remarkable given that a barrister employed by the UK Government Legal Department in her witness statement of 30 November stated that: “We acknowledge that there is considerable public interest in Covid related procurement, particularly of PPE.”
    (10) We have now applied to the court for a Cost Cap. In line with our transparency principles I am publishing my Witness Statement. But if we don’t get one, unless a white knight or white knights emerge, the simple fact is we will have to abandon the litigation. We are not in a position to bear a £1 million risk.

    Because they're massive gammons. Why are you struggling with this so much? Do you not understand how the English language works?

    crazed rightie: 'Why are you saying the sky is blue?'
    Sensible leftie: 'Because it is blue'

    It's semantics. It's a name given to folk with certain characteristics. In this case an irrational fear of foreigners, shirt lifters and darkies of various hues. Over these columns you have supplied ample evidence of conforming to this definition ergo thou art a Gammonista.

    The dopey ****ers can't even agree on what they think they mean when they use their favoured 'insult'.

    They know less about it than they knew about their reasons for voting as they did in the referendum. :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Lefties don't understand sarcasm, they can't meme or understand satire.

    The depressing radio host and remainer doomsayer/hero James O'brien referred to white people as Gammons years ago , it was funny for about a week but the low IQ low originality permanently butt hurt spastics still think it's hilarious now .

    The same people that grasp their pearls over ridiculing people's physical appearance against literally every other race love attacking white people because they hate themselves.

    I doubt anyone has ever been offended by the word gammon but the people that use it every single day of their pointless existences think it's the funniest thing ever .

    Chocolate drop for Sir Marcus Rashford or calling Sadiq Khan a curry muncher which is practically the same joke is NOT OK and racist though, because reasons.

    The funny thing is, it refers to people that go red with rage, yet the people it's aimed at tend on the whole to be taking the piss and having a laugh, and the people that use it tend to be in a permanent meltdown of frustrations. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    The fact that they are living their lives in permanent mental torment because of Brexit years after the referendum is the funniest part .
