Baroness Trumpington becomes an Internet hit after Remembrance Day debate
November 15th, 2011 - 10:15 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLondon, Nov 15 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Baroness Trumpington has become an Internet sensation after her reaction to Lord King during the Remembrance Day debate in the UK House of Commons recently. The 89-year-old was influential in helping break Hitler’s Nazi code during the Second World War.
During the ceremony to honor veterans who played diverse ways to help defeat the German menace, King was giving a special speech and made reference to the fact that the Second World War vets were getting old. When he decided to point to Trumpingon as evidence of the point that he was making, it turned to be a mistake.
During the debate on Thursday, King pointed out that the First World War vets have all passed on and the Second World War vets were also fast aging. Pointing to Trumpington, King said that, “And then the survivors of World War II started to look pretty old as well. As my noble friend, the Baroness, reminds me…”
Just as King was making that speech, Trumpington looked up and looked at him in a funny was and raised her two fingers as if to say “eat back those words.”
The action of Trumpington has been praised by those who watched the video of the incident on the Internet.
