James Spencer-Churchill has condemned the misuse of his great-uncle’s legacy to endorse the Ukraine conflict.
James Spencer-Churchill, a relative of Winston Churchill, has challenged the comparison of his great-uncle to Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky. The UK has reaffirmed its position as one of Kiev’s main backers after a falling out between Zelensky and US President Donald Trump.
Spencer-Churchill was responding to a tweet by Michael Ashcroft, former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party, in which the latter drew a parallel between the two figures.
“As a wartime leader I’m sure our great Winston Churchill would be proud of @Zelenskyy,” Ashcroft posted on his X platform on Saturday.
Spencer-Churchill contested the comparison, suggesting Ashcroft was misusing his famous relative’s name to justify the conflict in Ukraine.
“I don’t think so @LordAshcroft. Winston was my great uncle and I knew him well; he would be appalled at the constant hijacking of the Churchill name to justify such insanity and the needless loss of life,” he responded on X.
The UK has taken center stage as a key supporter of Ukraine following the rift between Zelensky and the Trump administration. Zelensky’s trip to the White House on Friday was abruptly cut short after the meeting devolved into a shouting match in front of the media. Trump accused the Ukrainian leader of “gambling with World War III” due to his reluctance to negotiate peace with Russia.
After the debacle, Zelensky flew directly to London to meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who assured the Ukrainian of the UK’s continued support in the conflict. On Sunday, Starmer announced that the UK and France were ready to lead a coalition to provide military support to Ukraine, including the deployment of troops and aircraft, stressing the necessity of the EU and others to stepping up as well.
US National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, who also drew the comparison between Zelensky and Winston Churchill in 2022, has recently likened the Ukrainian leader to an “ex-girlfriend that wants to argue everything that you said nine years ago, rather than moving the relationship forward.”
Trump recently described Zelensky as a “dictator without elections” and accused him of having only single-digit approval ratings. Zelensky cancelled elections last year, citing martial law.
Zelensky also invoked the words of Britain’s wartime leader in his appeal to the UK Parliament for aid in 2022.
“We will not surrender, we will not lose, we will go to the end,” he told British MPs.
Yes I can just see Winston Churchill playing the piano with his penis, NOT. The men who fought in the WW2 were real men not the simpering weak, corrupt specimen that is Zelensky. And the same goes for those corrupt men and women endorsing Zelensky.
Those men, including my uncle HATED Churchill….
Both cost innocent lives. I see no issue here.
Churchill was a evil man, an animal to be more precise who never could be trusted.
Agree 100%.
Evil, just like Zelensky, Churcill is also a hero of the Left, thou they will never admit it, he destroyed the Empire and gift wrapped them the Judeo Liberal democrocy we live in today.
Just wondering which side is this Goverment going to choose. Europe, USA or stay neutral. Given the fact we don’t have any weapons and we don’t have any manufacturing ability anymore. Guess it will be my offspring who will die.
Won t be able to do anything. The whole of europe is now bankrupt and have no ” heavy” industries any more.
So cannot re-arm any more. We should say thank you God !!
They can only print paper money worth nothing untill everything crashes down. That is UK, EU and NATO.
Buy precious metals if you can. Silver is still undervalued Ratio to gold is about 80/90 and should be ( and was for centuries)14/17 .
And if you cant, buy extra long hold groceries. Especially if you live in towns.
When the monetary system crashes you will need it.
