*Virtue signal, virtue signal*…..

I see you’re quite prepared to talk about it though, you poor little MBE recipient, you, because you know whatever publicity you decide to give it, whether graciously accepting it like a grown up, or whining about how terrible being offered one is, will increase your standing and exposure.

Thus your virtue signalling is hollow and faux.
