Gammon (noun) is a thicker cut of pork that's similar to bacon. Its pinkish flesh reminds one of the florid complexion of a certain demographic of boomer white males, angry about foreigners, angry about immigrants, angry about young people, angry about... I dunno... Bounty Bars being smaller than they used to be. They often read the Daily Mail and probably play golf in all-male clubs while the "little lady" remains at home cooking. You know you've met a gammon because they'll tell you you're being racist against white people. Also: gammony (adj)

Someone that wants to keep their sovereignty yet rejects that very same sovereignty.
This occurs primarily when a Gammon that voted for a hard Brexit to get their sovereignty back, has a fit due to the law of the land (sovereignty) going against their wishes.
Or, when the act of a proroguement was deemed by a Gammon that it was not used for 'particular purpose' (i.e. Brexit), yet the Gammon insists the 'particular purpose' was affected by the deemed illegality of said proroguement.
