Question about signalling

[Parrot of Doom]

Many yarns ago when I was taking my driving lessons, I had a big argument with my (passed) mates about a junction. Here it is:

Now theres a mini roundabout where the junction was, a recent addition. When I was having this argument, if you drove south toward the junction the road followed a straight right-hander heading west (toward the running track). The roads to the east and south were give-ways. If you click the hybrid view you can see the route the road took.

The argument was about when to indicate. If you wanted to continue south (as I did), then you're actually leaving the road you're travelling on. But if you indicate to other traffic that you're leaving the road (but not actually changing direction), you also might give traffic heading north and traffic heading east the impression that you're turning east (your left, their right), and an accident might ensue.

So which is it? Would you indicate left to continue in a straight line
