    Did anyone collect Syrian families as a child? (Regardless of assigned gender!)

    I think this is it with you. Nothing else matters really as long you get your dirty way.

    Got a bit of a fetish with the darker skinned amongst us have we? Because you seem to have a genuine hate for white people.

    Okay now I know you're on the wind up.

    I'm not, they're the same people that had the posters up in Balbriggan sure. NWA- Not Whites Allowed. Not a coincidence!

    Who said white? And Im white! Can you be racist against your own race???

    Gammon is a derogatory term used against white people only. It refers to to their skin pigment. And yes, you can be racist towards your own race.

    So you're trying to be ironic.

    You need to make this clearer though cause the right wing idiots here will actually fall for that crap.

    Gammon is a pejorative term used in British political culture since around 2012, which received press coverage in 2018. In 2018 it became particularly known as a term to describe white people, especially those on the political right or who supported Brexit, who appear pink-faced when emotional. The term is a comparison of their flushed skin colour to the pink of gammon, i.e. salted pork leg

    I agree, it's a skin colour thing but I love it because it describes exactly the pub barstool guy with his white/red face ranting about the black people.

    Ok so then you agree the comparison to Irish migration is perhaps a fallacy then and not comparing apples with apples. I look forward to that argument being dropped by the pro open borders crowd.

    which open borders crowd? i don't see any open borders crowd on here. can you show me?

    Legal immigrants. Paid for easily by other legal Irish immigrants working hard in the UK.

    no different to legal immigrants here then.

    A link would be nice - guardian isnt a dictionary tho- looks like a dictionary def...

    Guardian often has Opinion pieces- which are by definition, not fact

    the word “gammon” has become a shorthand for middle-aged, right-leaning white men

    It's both. Just admit you didn't know. It's ok to not know everything.

    Fair enough and tbh I don't give fiddlers about British politics myself but the qualifier is that the person it's leveled it has to be white. Sub that with any other ethnicity and I wonder would it be as acceptable.

    Dont see anything there to say they contribute more than they take, iirc ireland is one of the few exceptions to the rule in that they don't.

    Yeah, still don't see anything there in that report , try harder,
