The only common attribute Boris shares with Churchill is that he's overweight.

He obviously likes to see himself as a modern Churchill and consciously apes Churchill's anti-fashion, but there the similarities end.

That's how I understood it to be, about the land mass not attitude. I think people fail to realise Rule Britannia came long after the name.
