  1. The UK hasn`t had an Indepedant Foreign Policy since 1965; when Harold Wilson Refused to send British Troops to Vietnam. We have been America`s Poodle ever since. We have sent British Troops to Fight in America`s Oil Wars ever since. Now, we are helping America`s Military and Financial efforts to Humble Russia and China. We are leading NATO`s Puppets to Start a War Based on the Ukraine to Enrich the US “Merchants of Death”.
