In a desperate attempt to do anything to re-launch himself .. he now sees himself as the new Churchill ..
No doubt soon from Boris in a modern re-work of "fight them on the beaches" :
Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of none-brexit and all the odious apparatus of none-brexit rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall party to the end. We shall party in France, we shall party on the seas and oceans, we shall party with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall visit our off licence, whatever the cost may be. We shall party on the beaches, we shall party on the landing grounds, we shall party in the fields and in the streets, we shall party in the hills; we shall never surrender the bottle opener, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving of alcohol, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by British lilo's , would carry on the party, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue with more booze and removal of the empties.
