Lucy Connolly to be freed

Not similar at all. Coconut is about accusing a black person of trying to ingratiate themselves with white people. It is specifically about race. Gammon is about accusing a middle aged right winger of getting worked up about trans rights.
Actually its all people of colour that can be called that and its mainly about being a traitor to your cultural roots rather than trying somehow to appease white people, who generally need no appeasement in the first place. Gammon refers to the colour of the face when a person normally white starts frothing on about something mad, like for example a chap from Yorkshire with two cars on finance and house mortgaged up to the hilt banging on about how the mega rich should not be taxed more.
 
It seems the people calling others Gammons don't even know why they are calling them Gammons, apart from their skin colour of course.

I don't call people Gammons, but I know what it means. My example was perfect. The fact that you don't understand what the word Gammons means, might be the reason that you believe it is racist.

Gammon has nothing to do with Trans….

Have you ever managed to admit being wrong?
 
You’d think @MNW67 would know….
The irony for me, is the ones that use the terms are the ones who claim to find racism abhorrent.

Its not evidenced here:

Trans was just one example of the issues that would make a right winger turn "Gammon". It wasn't meant to be the only issue. Others would be immigration, people on benefits, gay marriage etc. etc.
