Boris Churchill - Mercorabilia

A twist on my speech-wrecker speech today.
I read an article recently that said that, in times like this, what we need is clarity - and that's exactly what we're not getting. Which is completely true. So I thought I'd parody Winston Churchill's famous 'Fight Them On The Beaches' speech as the crucial part might have sounded had Boris 'King of Vagueness' Johnson given it.


Fight Them On The Beaches? not by Winston Churchill
We shall go on… er… possibly to the end… or maybe even further. 
We shall fight in France, or on the seas or the oceans. 
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing alertness in the open air. 
We shall defend this land, our island, whatever the cost may be – within reason, of course. 
We shall fight on the beaches, or on the landing grounds, or possibly in the fields or the streets - we could even fight in the hills. 
But we won’t give up whatever happens. So stiff upper lip and best of British.
