    Yes, a mix of news and opinions, with panels during the day and probably just one or two presenters doing overnight. One of Neil's sections of his programme is entitled Woke Watch... Nice...:emoticon-0100-smile

    Do you honestly think that’s the same thing?

    Explain to me what the difference is. Both make reference to a person's skin

    As much as middle-aged white men have been the truly oppressed of society for decades, I think the relative levels of oppression black people have suffered due to their skin colour makes that a slightly more serious slur. I appreciate there’s this constant need for some reason for old white right wingers to be the victim but it’s a mental comparison.

    Gammon as a term is predominantly used by white people to describe other, albeit permanently angry and redder, white people. I don’t think it would be black people generally insulting Abbott in that way. It would probably be our swathes of gammonflakes, in fact.

    Gammon is used as a term of abuse by both white and black wokies. What you're saying is, it's perfectly ok for them to abuse white folk based on skin colour, but not the other way round. I thought we were living in a society of equals. Apparently not. That in itself can foster resentment.

    Where do we go from here? Start having a go at Jewish people because they have big noses? It all sounds pretty negative to me

    I’m white and yet to be called a gammon so maybe it’s not really about skin colour as much as you’d like it to be.

    Can a black person be a gammon? I think not, so skin colour comes into it.

    You think I'm wrong? A black person can be a gammon?

    I’d say so. There’s a relative lack of black people openly airing gammony opinions but yeah let’s go with it.

    The Oxford Dictionary refers to the abusive term gammon as being "various parasynthetic adjectives referring to particularly reddish or florid complexions"

    When did you last see a black person with a reddish or florid complexion?
