Not true. Britain was involved in the Vietnam war, we just didnt send troops but we did train American and S/Vietnam forces and later in the war Britain advised them on various things.

Sadly we didnt advise them to get the hell out of Vietnam and let them decide their own future.

Good old Harold Wilson, he pulled a right blinder with that one. If only we had an equally smart PM in power now.

Where is he by the way?

I doubt if you remember WW2 - 75 years ago  - and Trump is no FD Roosevelt.

Roosevelt? You mean the Roosevelt who once said of Native Americans: ‘I don’t go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn’t like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth.’

That Roosevelt?

It isn't world war 2 though. It's a series of proxy wars half a world away. I'd like to think Boris will leave well alone - he's still on holiday after all - but this country doesn't need and cannot afford another war in a desert.

Wrong Roosevelt sunshine.

 

It was Teddy who made those comments about Red Indians.

 

It was FD Roosevelt who led the USA out of the Great Depression and in WW2.
