The word “wanker” and that instantly recognizable signal for male masturbation both made an appearance in the European Parliament during a fierce Tuesday debate over the EU’s counter-terrorism policy.
Member of the European Parliament (MEP), Brexit supporter and Conservative Syed Kamall made the distinctive hand gesture at the former Prime Minister of Belgium and MEP Guy Verhofstadt, while verbally labeling him a”wanker.” (RELATED: What is Brexit?

“How many attacks are still needed before everybody understands that we need on the European level a real investigation capacity?”, Verhofstadt yelled.

A less than impressed Kamall couldn’t contain his contempt for Verhofstadt’s pro-EU argument. The incident sparked a wave of responses both pro and con Kamall’s actions on social media. “This is what desperation looks like,” Verhofstadt said on Twitter after the incident.
Kamall later made light of the situation. “You can take the boy out of North London … actually I’m personally fond of Guy,” he said on Twitter.
