Ukraine war: Boris Johnson sparks fury after comparison to BrexitBoris Johnson has been criticised for comparing the struggle of Ukrainians fighting Russia's invasion to people in Britain voting for Brexit.In a speech he said Britons, like Ukrainians, had the instinct "to choose freedom" and cited the 2016 vote to leave the EU as a "recent example".Conservative peer Lord Barwell said the referendum wasn't "comparable with risking your life" in a war.And Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said it was an "insult" to Ukrainians.Addressing the Conservative party's spring conference in Blackpool earlier, the prime minister said: "I know that it's the instinct of the people of this country, like the people of Ukraine, to choose freedom, every time."I can give you a couple of famous recent examples."When the British people voted for Brexit in such large, large numbers, I don't believe it was because they were remotely hostile to foreigners."It's because they wanted to be free to do things differently and for this country to be able to run itself."
