Boris compares Ukraine invasion to Brexit - Lilith7 - 20-03-2022
Once again Boris opens his mouth & inserts his foot. Unbelievably stupid comment.

"But his remarks, intended to rally the Tory faithful, attracted criticism from political figures in the UK and Europe.
Donald Tusk, ex-president of the European Council, said Mr Johnson's comments would "offend Ukrainians, the British and common sense".
Guy Verhofstadt, the former prime minister of Belgium who was the European Parliament's chief Brexit negotiator, said the comparison was "insane".
Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey called the prime minister a "national embarrassment", adding: "To compare a referendum to women and children fleeing Putin's bombs is an insult to every Ukrainian.
"He is no Churchill: he is Basil Fawlty."

Incredible! The comparison with Basil Fawlty is spot on except that Basil's hair was usually tidy.
