Moral Maze tonight discuss this (now clichéd) debate stopper at 8pm on Radio 4.

You mean what the House of Lords is doing now?

They don't get what 'virtue signalling' is.

Let me explain. Saying you care about a bunch of stuff, yet not backing those words up with action equals virtue signalling.For example, you may say are against Brexit because you think Brexit was caused by little racist Englanders looking to reduce immigration yet, you yourself, opt to live in one of the most white populated places in the country, that would equal virtue signalling because you are appearing to be hypocritical. You say one thing yet live your life in another way.

Then you go 'Matthew, you have it all wrong...' before humiliating yourself by talking more bollocks and then getting angry because you are challenged.

And then the cycle begins again.

Early contender for worst thread of the year.

Maybe change the record once in a while?

Vive le Roy!

It's what people with low self esteem do to make themselves feel superior over others, or is used by guilt racked middle class types whom agonise over the 'privilege' they enjoy and use virtue signalling as a hollow way to justify themselves, please see my illustration of this in a previous post.

Happy to oblige.
