Even the breakfast is woke, should set you up nicely for your day at the just stop oil protest.

Nothing more woke than British patriotism eh
Why can’t you be proud just to the English?

Your carbon footprint owing to your demands for brekkie wekkie is an utter fucking disgrace.
I'll bet you wash it down with tea from Ceylon as well.

I’m really not one for signalling my virtues, but good luck with your crosses and your poppies and all that woke virtue signalling stuff.

I think the triangular corner flags thing is a myth. But it was amusing to see how the discussion descended so quickly into flags generally. Just to add my twopennorth as someone who remembers the way the Union Jack was used to make black and Asian supporters feel unwelcome and anxious about coming to football games, I don't want us to go back there. I think the people who support the flag waving know it's divisive and don't care. They put their own needs to identify as proudly British/English above their consideration for more vulnerable communities. Just saying...

Yeah, this is where I'm at with it. Not sold on the 'we just love England' line when the flags were nowhere to be seen a few months ago.

Not these days. These days if you say you want British half way flags you get arrested and thrown in jail these days.
Pretty sure you can't classify the honouring of those who died in war as virtue signalling. Surely that's beyond this virtue bullshit and simply a show of common decency, respect and a nod in thanks for their sacrifices.I’m really not one for signalling my virtues, but good luck with your crosses and your poppies and all that woke virtue signalling stuff.

How is wearing a poppy "woke virtue signalling stuff"?
What the actual bollocks are you talking about?

See above. I think maybe you don’t understand what virtue signalling is, or rather you only like using the term to refer to the signalling of other people’s virtues and not your own. You hearing it is a pejorative belies the idiocy of its typical usage.

So people only honour the fallen because it's "popular"?
Nothing to do with the fact they laid down their lives to give you the freedom to talk absolute fucking bollocks on an Internet forum! Stop sniffing glue mate, try and hold on to your final braincell!
For me? I will continue wearing a poppy and adhering to a silence in their honour on the 11th of November. And if you want to call me a virtue signaller because of it, then so be it! I'd rather be a "poppy wearing signal vituer" than an absolute fucking tool like you!

I don’t have any issue with virtue signalling, you’re reading it as an insult, it wasn’t offered as one.
the definition doesn’t describe popularity as the motivation for signalling one’s virtues, but clearly wearing a poppy aligns with popular opinion, I don’t think that is up for debate, is it?
