A quick Google and social media search indicates that no one in cyberspace seems to have noted / commented on Boris Johnson's invocation of Churchill yesterday afternoon. It came during a visit to a Welsh poultry farm, when BJ quietly and hastily muttered the words "Some chicken".  

Was this simply the most obvious off-the-cuff exclamation that sprang to our new PMs mind whilst clutching a [non-chlorinated] chicken?  Or was it a deliberate attempt to suggest that Churchill also had to contend with European leaders (i.e. French generals in 1940) predicting inevitable doom and disaster for Britain?  If the latter, the complete radio silence suggests it was a tad too subtle.

I've uploaded a clip to YT.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHP8bNd2r5U
