Anyone that thinks Zelensky broadcasting live into the Commons in the middle of a ‘war’ is anything other than a WEF mass formation event needs to have a long wobble of their head.

Historic moment for Parliament. President Zelensky addresses the House of Commons.
Zelensky: “The question for us now is to be or not to be. The Shakespearean question. For 15 days this question has been asked. I can give you a definitive answer is yes- to be.” pic.twitter.com/rAqMjcOS1U

Zelensky echoes Winston Churchill to the U.K.'s House of Commons: "We will fight till the end — at sea, in the air, we will continue fighting for our land whatever the cost. We will fight in the forests, in the fields, on the shores, in the streets."https://t.co/wgyGzGyRH5

President Zelensky undoubtedly set a precedent in The House of Commons. He is the first leader with morality and integrity, to speak in there for quite some time.

"We do not want to lose what we have, what is ours, our country, Ukraine," Ukrainian Pres. Zelensky tells House of Commons through a translator, "just the same way as you once didn't want to lose your country when Nazis starting to fight your country." https://t.co/EPUvsRMUrD pic.twitter.com/tPgRB3peaC

#Ukraine. Pres. Zelensky addresses the Commons by video link. He is a very astute man. He spoke of "fighting on land, at sea and in the air. We shall go on to the end." A genuine Churchillian touch from a Churchillian figure. Standing ovations before & after, MPs clearly moved.

Just listened to an impassioned & powerful address by President Zelensky in the House of Commons, to which he outlined the horror of Russian atrocities & echoed the words of Churchill saying “we will fight on the shores.” He also quoted Shakespeare, “we choose to be.” Incredible.
