So everyone’s who has an opinion that’s right of centrist is malicious?
Well, that really isn't what I said, but one of the other characteristics of the right is to perpetually claim that they are the victims, so fill your boots.
There might be some right wing behaviours that don't end up doing damage to someone or other and are therefore not malicious. I can't think of any right now, but I'm not closing my mind to the possibility.
Roald Dhal refused an MBE because he thought he should get a Knighthood……
That was spicy behaviour.
what’s the view on general use of post nominals in a professional capacity – are who use them ‘virtue signalling’?
It depends on the job, I suppose. Engineers are always touchy about this stuff. It can look a bit lame.
don't feed the troll chaps.

Prophetic contribution as always tj
Nope it’s an observation of the viciousness of the righteous left if you dare to have a different opinion
Get over yourself. It's not like you didn't know which forum you were posting on.
I’m not claiming to be righteous
You wouldn't want to be accused of virtue signalling.

Just re-read what you have actually just written 🤣
your contempt for others comes thru loud and clear
Oof! What's your opinion of Tories and those that vote for them Teej?

Not sure that's quite the snappy comeback you think it is.
Anyway, you've already admitted that we're righteous, so I don't know where that leaves you.

Oof! Touché..... 😉

tory party? Deep visceral loathing
voters - pity generally as they have been conned most of them
That may not be very nice but its a refection of what I have seen of the damage ill health and death they have deliberately caused
Not sure that’s quite the snappy comeback you think it is.
Snappy comeback or not, Del's comment epitomises the elitism and always correct attitude of the majority of posters on this forum that I should be oh so aware of when I'm daring to post.

The 'we' further inferring that this is a little club for the like minded. If you don't see an issue there, then you are reinforcing the fact that any opinion other than yours is wrong
Let's just remember that you came along and started the thread with a deliberate attempt to provoke a particular reaction. This is something usually known as trolling. When that reaction unsurprising ensued, you start claiming you're being victimised. Just grow up.

So it's ok for every man and his dog to have a go at my opinion, but when I chuck a bit back I have to grow up?

I've literally had it pointed out to me to remember what forum I'm posting on. For some bizarre reason, I thought it was a cycling forum, with some general discussion thrown in for good measure 🤷🤣
You aren't 'chucking a bit back' you're just whining that the nasty lefties are being mean to you. Which, when you came in here with a deliberate attempt to provoke them into disagreeing with you, is a bit rich.
What actually is your opinion? You know, on the wider context of whether the Empire is still to be celebrated, whether the awards are good but they need renaming, and so on?
You posted two diametrically opposed alternates, invited us to judge your opinion based on our preconceptions of you, and now seem put out when people have. And to be fair, I'll side with you on the point that while I think your opinions on this are (finding a non-aggressive word for it) erm..... 'a bit off' - you're entitled to them and they should be debated properly, the name calling's gone a bit overboard (again)
So, what do you think then - Empire; a just celebration of a great sailing and trading nation; or an embarrassing anachronism best left in the history books? Discuss.
What actually is your opinion?
That Cumming has done this as a bit of an attention seeking moment, be that wokeism, virtue signalling, or self-promotion. I have no real opinion one way or the other on Empire based awards to be honest.
The rest of it just followed and here we are
