US has rednecks, Australia has bogans. Does Great Britain have an equivalent?

These are bogans...they look just like rednecks.

    Then you'd love the picture of the back end of Lizzo showing off her new line of lingerie.  I can't post it here.  I have it on my desktop so I don't know if you would be able to open it.

    Thinking I might have a "No, thanks" reaction, even though I couldn't find it.  :)

    I like much of her music, though.

    The term "gammon" is popular in some social media contexts as an insulting label for an ill-informed, reactionary xenophobe, so it encapsulates part of the meaning of "redneck". But I've never heard it used in real life. "Chav" may be a closer fit but it has fallen out of favour and I haven't heard it used since the late 2010s. There are regional equivalents such as "scally" in Manchester which predate the c-word and are probably still in use. But, these are urban subcultures or stereotypes, and "redneck" was originally a rural stereotype, so it's not possible to say there is an exact equivalent.

    Chavs. Still found in the East End, and Liverpool.
