Been watching some British shows. That first picture of her with the “peace sign” — outer hands facing the audience, is our American equivalent of flipping someone the bird.
You are correct. The peace sign is palms out. I learned the bird equivalent in the early 60’s when my dad was stationed in London for two years.
Yep. Look at some photos of Winston Churchill during WWII. When he was giving the V sign for domestic audiences he always did it palm toward the camera. When he expected that the photo would be used by the “world press” and would likely be seen by the bad guys he would turn it back-hand toward the camera.
