Yes, I think so. I'll see if I can find the stats, but certain councils (Glasgow, North Lanarkshire) took more than others. I believe Edinburgh has to be given a kick to to take it's share.

Nice racial slur, in a thread as well. Well done you.
All forms of racism is bad.

I’m tired of catching strays. When people denounce that these racists are just a bunch of working class drug addicts with bad teeth and a low IQ. I might be most of those things but I am not a racist, I just don’t like Belgians
Calling someone a gammon isn’t racist. It’s very, very funny, but it’s not racist.
Gammon is not a racial slur
it’s a slur based on how people look, ergo, a racial slur. in fact, it’s probably the most hurtful of all racial slurs.Gammon is not a racial slur
Morgan and Tate debate is an interesting one...
THAT is what you've taken from my post?
You didn't need the caveat either. 'All Lives Matter' I get it.
Gammon is not a racial slur
Is it targeting a group of people by race? Or age? Or Political view?
That you don't like white people around 30-70 - It's okay I don't like crackers, much prefer biscuitsTHAT is what you've taken from my post?
'Gammon' is a pejorative coined by white people to refer to a subset of themselves. It refers, most specifically, to the puce faced anger exhibited by right wingers expressing their anti-immigrant opinions.
Are you saying you think gammon is a general word to describe white people around the ages of 30 to 70?
Obviously you don't actually think that, so I can only assume you're just looking to argue.
Hopefully yesterday was the start of feckwits being put back in their box.
Got someone visiting this weekend and was wondering whether it'll be OK to be out and do stuff and yeah, I think it'll be fine.

Gammon is a state of mind, not a protected characteristic.
It's from the general redness of their face, brought on by rage and cider in most cases. Don't think it quite fits the Oxford definition, unfortunately, maybe you can write to them?
All three at once. Which is why it's such a useful insult.
Unless there was another bloke who looks/dressed the same, he's just been sentenced to 26 months.
Not sure if you're on a wind up or you genuinely believe I'm anti-white because of a term I used coined by white people to describe a subset of the population who...oh look Ekkie's already answered it.
I already know exactly what @M16Red looks like
Latest from Scarborough where there was a protest due yesterday/today:
Do you? Go on?
Tag line?
Grib beat me to it
Do you really want right wing knuckle dragger as a tagline?
So... your saying that the word gammon makes you think of a white middle age man?
Is it not a racial slur?
This isn’t a hill you want to die on.
i was hoping for Gary Gammon
I don't care... this could be my best work..
Not all of them. An angry subset most commonly seen railing against immigrants.
In case you didn't realise it, this thread isn't about you.
He drank a bottle and a half of brandy before going to a riot?
He did well to be standing upright, let alone kicking off…….
What are you going on about?
The word gammon is to me a racist slur, because it has only ever been used to described a particular race of people.
He didn't do that well. One touch from a shield and he was on his arse and couldn't get up again.
Not really, not every white person is a gammon.
'Gammon' is a racial slur now, is it?
What a snowflake.
