A typical response from someone with your demographic makeup .

Read the whole article for balance , people with children , who have their own business etc

Decisions were being made by unelected people based on wild predictions and algorithms.

Gammon is a slur against skin colour.

The tweets in which people throw it out won't age well..

It might be a skin condition or lifestyle choice that causes it, but no - having a red face is not a race ffs

It's an insult aimed solely at one race based on a skin colour characteristic.

What other foods do you use to describe people's skin colour?

It's definitely 100% racist, and intended to be. Sad how a so-called doyen of this board could stoop so low.

Gammon is not a race.

Chocolate isn't a race. Do you think it's okay to use that as a venomous term against black people?

It's plainly a racist term. It's using someones characteristic (skin colour) to insult them. You shouldn't do that.

Do you think it would be racist to comment on someone's eczema or a skin allergy?

Yes, I didn't see the thread heading in this direction when I typed that message a few hours ago - never been called a racist before in my life and I'm not bothered in the slightest that someone has chosen to do it now because it's too ludicrous for words aa are the other elements of his "hat trick". His desire to rush to the Conservative Party's defence despite his much proclaimed (always by himself of course) even handedness is remarkable.

Is telling someone they have scarlet fever racist I wonder?

Bob, you are insulting people based on the colour of their skin. It's not on.

I know you struggle with people with different opinions, but that's a new low.

And I don't rush to their defence - I said the PM should resign, I just wasn't hysterical about it.
