What do you do when someone is rude to you? Why you stick two fingers up at them, obviously. After all, it’s the universal sign for F*** Off. Even in the House Of Lords.
Lord King of Bridgewater says something about World War II veterans and uses Baroness Trumpington as an example. She doesn’t take too kindly to this, and shows him what she thinks in no uncertain terms.
Trumpington has since said it was unintentional and that her “hand must have flown up.” Yeah, yeah, we believe you, old lady. You instinctively knew this man was being rude and reacted in the way anyone half your age would have done.
Not only is Trumpington a legend for sticking her fingers up at King, she also has the most English name ever. Baroness Trumpington is the kind of title you expect to see in a Jane Austen novel. Although she did used to be plain old Jean Alys Barker.
