I am not getting this the V sign is normally given with the back of the hand facing forward ie "F&^K you"

  Heh, must be a cultural difference. The V sign they're talking about here is most common in East Asia I guess, though I see it often enough in the US. It's not a vulgar thing, and the usual position is with the palm facing the camera. The same thing was often used as the "peace sign" in the mid/late 1900s, though these days it's not as mainstream as it used to be. Its roots go back farther than that, and I think your interpretation (with the palm facing one's body) is older than the more modern interpretation.

    Well there some argument that the inverted V (V for victory) was used in ww2 by Churchill avoid the negative connotations but in fact was trolling the Nazis.
