MPs crammed into every corner. Members of the House of Lords packed the public galleries high in the chamber. Parliamentary staff huddled close to peer through the stone arches, almost in the roof, to watch.
...Then alone at his desk, only a Ukrainian flag for company, President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared on screens to speak to MPs and, of course, to the country.
...Yet the message that brought tears to some MPs' eyes was Mr Zelensky's utter defiance.
...He said: "Just in the same way you didn't want to lose your country when Nazis started to fight your country, you had to fight."
A student of British history perhaps, a savvy media operator, or both, Mr Zelensky evoked Winston Churchill's most famous speech of defiance, in which he promising to fight "on the beaches", saying: "We'll fight in the forests, on the shores, in the streets."
It was the first time any foreign leader has addressed the House of Commons directly.
Everyone watching will remember it. Everyone watching will hope that one day Mr Zelensky might have the chance to speak here in real life.

Zelensky’s act is getting old. I predict he will be martyred and Poroshenko will resume power.
Ideally politicians would be worried about their own citizens instead of wasting our tax dollars on corrupt nazi infested hell holes run by Deep State puppets like Ukraine
No amount of propaganda will ever change my mind.
As if anyone there would be dare to oppose or offer a dissenting view.
This man is an idiot and anyone who says otherwise is a fool. Its just SAD. In the end he will beg to accept what was offered before the war which is ironic.
Good, now they can fight for their country and leave us out of it.
Be a few tears too, if London becomes a humungus bomb crater. NO TO WW3
They assassinate their own negotiators who want to compromise even slightly with Russia.
Why would anyone not rise in support of the dictator Zelensky? They were warned.
Ok, the MPs are “in solidarity” with Ukraine.
BFD. We haven’t even heard from Bono yet.
The British press just loves this little puke.
Keep in mind who installed Zelenskyy.
Keeping company like Soros, Schwab, Trudeau, etc.
Dubious.
Made my nipples hard. S/
I bet they took a knee for BLM too. Pathetic worms.
Its being offered right now. Take the deal and Russia pulls out. This is all on him from here on out

Maybe the UK will take the Polish Migs and send them to Ukraine. No?
—”Its being offered right now. Take the deal and Russia pulls out. This is all on him from here on out”
DO YOU HAVE A LINK TO THIS PROPOSED DEAL?
LOL
Not after BBC replays Threads, which they surely will.
That’s not a Photoshop, it’s a screencap. “We shall fight on the beaches...” (after I smoke a cig and bask in the afterglow”).
