      They're "old hams!", surely?
      Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.

        So the 'project fear' about christmas is true! After brexit we'll no longer get presents in the UK as Santa is staying the EU

          According to the definition in the Urban Dictionary, they're not really gammons.

          Gammon

          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.


          They're not red in the face, so, with just that photo as evidence - they're not gammons. HTH.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            No we will stick with the traditional Father Christmas not that European muck Pere Noel or Sinterklaas.

            Don't worry warthog, your missus will still be getting her stocking filled this year by a brexiteer.

              Pretty sure Druncker and a few others are demonstrating drink related flushing.Though the tax payer funded tan does hide it well.


              Facial flushing is a sign of 'alcohol intolerance' - NHS
