Original Note:
Whilst Gammon could be an insult, it is unlikely to be considered a Hate Crime as it does not attack a protected characteristic. There is not a list of hate crime words, the CPS tests many factors and context is vital. To say it *is* a crime is factually incorrect. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/may/18/politician-gammon-racist-stupid-steven-poole?ssp=1&setlang=en-gb&cc=GB&safesearch=moderate And https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/hate-crime-22
