Much the same as there were Soviets and Chinese helping the NVA and VC. In his books Curtis give more examples of the British helping the US in Vietnam under the Labour Government.
He also mentions Blair sending SAS detachments to Colombia to arm and train fascist death squads, technical experts to help keep Colombian helicopters flying (in the name of the anti-drugs war, but in reality to attack Colombian trade unionists), the chapters on Blair supporting Bush in starving the ordinary people of Iraq and denying them medicines are quite illuminating. How Labour Governments sold out the population of Tierra Del Fuego gets a long mention, how the Hawker Hunters used by the fascists in Chile to bring down the elected government of Allende were supplied by Harold Wilson's Government is in there.
All in all, the Labour Party are a total shower, but socialists have known this for generations.
