Boris Johnson, "The Churchill Factor"
Fifty years after Churchill’s death, the leader’s actions continue to shape the world. In his survey of this multi-talented politician, military strategist, and writer, Johnson, the mayor of London since 2008 and himself a former journalist and author of the inimitable Johnson’s Life of London, argues that history can be made by strong individuals not impersonal forces.

Boris old boy, you forgot the incident when Winston went into the men's room and placed himself at the other end of the stalls from Clem Attlee, the socialist leader. "Being standoffish today are we Winston?", asked Attlee. "Its not that Clem", replied Churchill, "it's just that whenever you see anything big you want to nationalize it!"

Very good to hear Boris in full flow in his natural element. He displays such genuine enthusiasm, born of conviction . He is actually far more serious than many people realize...his jokes are peripheral and a way of engaging the audience with serious matters, & history. What a profound contrast to Mrs May! We have had a dearth of intellect, a desert lacking in ideas & imagination . I hope so much he will survive the current attack dogs, and become PM. Of course he will err as all human do. But he has potential to succeed where many humans couldn’t.

LEAVE the Brussels unelected bureaucrats and all their pathetic laws, dictatorship and evil intentions of forcing us into the Globalists agenda/NWO. The EU Parliament will, hopefully crumble and fall before so very long freeing Each and Every European country, allowing them to regain their Sovereignty, Laws, Rights, Nationalism, cultures and differences that we have all embraced in days gone by. Everything should be sold off and the proceeds returned, and rightly so, to all the individual countries, whose taxes have been stolen/ given by former corrupt leaders, thus enabling ALL European countries to re-form and grow from strength to strength!

Fascinating section on Hong Kong. Who’d have thought...
I used to go often to Hong Kong on business before and after 1997. I met people who said that whilst they did not have internal democracy of the overarching nature that had long existed in the UK, they felt strongly, entirely and impregnably protected by the democratic Parliament of the UK, because they had seen throughout history that democratic governments, particularly the UK Parliament, had never produced cause to fear oppression or abuse. Post 1997 they knew that no such historical precedent applied - and they still do not. Remember the 10,000 dead in Tiananmen Square.
Excellent lecture from a guy who is fluent in French, Italian and Latin; together with excellent German and Spanish. It is exceedingly rare that he needs an interpreter with him when in the corridors of Brussels or its different summit meetings. We have only seen the surface of his abilities to date; like his fluency in Languages, he will take us well forward Post Brexit. A good man who does not shout his talents, merely gets on with the job, a fact shouty opponents find very difficult to counter with any sense.

I think Churchill would be turning in his grave if he thought this Charleston was aligning himself to him !!

Churchill did two great things. In 1940-41 he saved Britain and the World. In 1951 he took the Tory party back into office and ended the Socialist state imposed by Atlee, Nye Bevan and Harold Wilson. By 1940 aged 66 he had acquired a lot of experience about war and politics. And have failed as Chancellor in the depression , he had a nine year sabbatical eating, drinking, reading and writing for the Press to think about it. As essentially unpaid backbencher he described himself as a journalist and had a lifelong interest in a free media. Within days of coming to power in May 1940, he found the Nazi army and SS on the banks of the Meuse, under the apparent command of General Guderain, his troop singing, ' we are sailing ( for England) . Winston asked his RAF Air Marshall's, ' can you provide some old obsolete planes, to expend. A 100 Battle fighter bombers, only 250 k. Right I order them to take out the house out that is Guderain's HQ on the east side of the Meuse, in the great tradition of the RAF and RN Capt of HMS Glowworm defending HMS Glorious from the Scharnhorst , they will take the German army and SS HQ by flying straight into. 20 RAF Battles went a straight into Guderain HQ, but it was actually next door, and Sailor was only shaken for a day. Rommel had taken the bridge . Churchill repeated the ordered in triplicate , if you find out were Rommel, Guderain or Heydrich's are , a 100 airborne immediately

Boris should never have been forced to resign he should have been allowed to finish is term in office and go for another genral election 2024. Starmer saw Boris has his biggest threat and spent months and months trying to stir the public against Boris.
I see the spirit, conviction and love of country in Boris as I see in our president Donald Trump....I think the UK has a winner for PM in Boris...
Where may I find a copy of this book in Italian?
What a well versed, highly articulate and accentric statement and a writer. Britain is blessed to have him as PM.

I would say Boris is brilliant at this . Politics i would disagree vocation in life this is his domain . Politics is corrupt dirty business and stamping out anything that's in front of it . Historian is a creativeness and discovery peoples life's .
Go Boris!
Brilliant. Thank you Boris our new leader
The biggest problem in human society and politics is GREED.
Why do people think Boris resembles Churchill ? I think he acts more like Ken Dodd. I am convinced he has modeled himself on Doddy - must have spent many an hour practising in front of a mirror.
Effervescent- a great outing by Boris! 🦉🇬🇧🦉
The last question is interesting. Today, more than 6 years later, Boris is PM and saving Hong Kongers, which is impressive.
I was amazed by the number of non American accents who asked him, like everybody else, pretty deep and "gulp before answering'' questions. One of the best videos at its time but astounding now that, 5 years later later he really IS UK's Prime Minister.
G-20 It Same Like V.O.C, .... God Bless Sir Mr. Boris Johnson. And All Sir And Mrs, ..... Cherrio.🌠👍👍👍🌠🌠🌟🌠🌠.
"perhaps even become prime minister one day" wish that was a joke
If I could vote for whom I would want to be our next P.M, Boris gets my vote every time.
,,,,,and he did become Prime Minister "someday " ....
I totally disagree PM Johnson, I feel that we do need politicians of Churchill's calibre in today's society. MP's and PM's with a backbone to speak out in defence of Britain and our culture, traditions and customs, and the British citizens. Before anyone jumps in and accuses me of being racist, NO I am not racist. I embrace other, cultures and customs and the differences between us all, I love traditional dress, dance, folklore etc. What I dislike is people of different backgrounds, culture etc. coming into my country and instantly trying to change everything we hold dear, and replace it with that of the country (s) from where they have originated, and flatly refuse to integrate. That should be stopped from happening and everyone wishing to enter the country should embrace the British way of life in all its entirety, and those wishing not to should be refused entry. Simples ✊🏼✊🏼
Boris is so intelligent so smart.
And here we are in 2020 and Boris is indeed prime minister.
Very funny and interesting book.
I really want to see Boris Johnson's Rhetorical analysis of At Six O'Clock In the morning On a park bench In February By God It makes you proud to be British.
Very glad this hombre is my PM
27:59 is the best point on the video. let me know if you know what I am talking about?
Whose watching this after Boris Johnson resigned from the prime minister's office July 2022😷⏲
This is the second Battle of Britain, and like Churchill before him, Johnson will win this battle and go down in history as a great leader !
I love this man
