Baroness Trumpington flips off snarky lord
Really. You would think a Peer of the Realm would know better than to make disparaging comments about a lady's age, especially on the floor of the House of Lords! Baroness Trumpington was the object of a cutting, and most ungentlemanly reference to her age and appearance from Lord King on the floor of the upper House. The Baroness, who is 89 and the last serving veteran of World War II in the Lords, responded with an inverted "V" for victory hand salute, which is considered rather akin to a similar hand signal on our side of the pond.
Many Years to her Ladyship!
