The leaked 'political agreement' is now available, and there will be no 'friction-less trade' with the EU. Years of negotiation resulting in us being far worse off than we are now.

I think Becky is closest to the generally received definition of "gammon" [Link] though probably intended as an insult, it has the merit of being almost literally descriptive of those intended I used to be immortal

We White 'middle class' aging men obviously need our own 'Kick it out' organisation exclusively for that demographic. Every so often, one of our number can go on TV and complain about the daily abuse we suffer at work and online at the hands of minorities and left wing and liberal activists. I suggest that any reference to 'Gammon' should now be referred to as the 'G' word. Anyone using the word Honkey, Whitey or even Brexiteer should lose their job, be publically humiliated and even imprisoned for extreme cases. Anyone mocking 'G' practices like dancing badly, listening to rock music, wearing dodgy jumpers or gardening should be sent immediately on an attitude adjustment course. These attitudes are just not acceptable in 2018.
