Watch: British Parliament Man Barks Like a Dog at Female Colleague, Gives Very British Apology
Here’s your backstory: The right honourable most excellent etc. etc. etc. Nicholas Soames, who is a conservative member of Parliament and a grandson of Winston Churchill, apparently barked like a dog at Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, a member of the Scottish National Party in the House of Commons. The reason? She condemned Donald Trump in remarks to the foreign secretary.
Tory MP shouts “woof woof” as @TasminaSheikh condemns “racist” policise of Donald Trump.

Now, the main takeaway should be that Soames is a jerk. The secondary takeaway, though…well, watch the video. Watch how very British the whole thing is. And look out for the phrase “woof woof sounding noises.”

It’s good to know that as the world devolves into chaos and hatred, even the worst of the British people will still act very British.
