mariokempes56 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Gammon. So we now allow someone (matters not who) to decide that a word in use to describe a meat served with a fried egg my entire life is a racist term ? I hadn't realised there was a job out there that "gave" that right. What utter bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2009 she was highly commended in the Feature Writer of the Year category at the British Press Awards.[4] In 2010 she won Feature Writer of the Year at the British Press Awards. "Calling someone a 'gammon' is hate speech Tanya Gold explains why calling someone a gammon is like calling a Jew a k**e or calling poor white Americans trailer trash." Best to read something before critiquing it. Yes who could it be... it is a baffling mystery... one that will probably never be solved. Hang on, it is on the tip of my tongue.... no gone.

aaid Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Seems like a stellar visit to France from Trump. First of all, he bins a trip to a US WW1 military cemetery because it was raining. Now, apparently he met the leaders of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia and started blaming them for starting the war in Yugoslavia. Yip, he got the Baltics mixed up with the Balkans. Still, at least its not as if he's got the future of all humanity in his tiny hands or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also trolled by Justin Trudeau who made a speech in the rain and said something along the lines of "we shouldn't be worried about rain coming out the sky when at Dieppe it was bullets". Trump still to visit US troops on active service, you'd have thought that would've been right up his street. Even fellow draft dodger Bill Clinton went to Kuwait. https://www.stripes.com/blogs/from-the-archives/president-clinton-in-kuwait-1994-1.486404 Edited November 13, 2018 by aaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
