Dragged in Parliament
We’re always impressed by a great comeback, but we’re even more impressed when it happens on the fly. It’s easier to think of a retort when you have time to think behind a screen. It’s a whole other level when someone delivers a clever burn in person. Someone posted a TIL about a great insult that happened in the last place you’d expect.
A politician read someone to filth in Parliament and got in trouble for using “unparliamentary language.” While saying the insult was completely unprofessional, we have to admit it’s a pretty scorching burn and we’re impressed. Standing round of applause to this 1949-era politician!
