After the end of WWI Great Britain was one of the main political opponents of Poland seeing it as a problem that would disturb the balance in Europe. They refused any kind of help in their war with the Bolsheviks in years 1919-1920.
This article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Soviet_War
lists UK as one of Polish supporters together with France. This is not factual and the article itself supports the idea that Great Britain did jack shit and they only sent a few observers including general De Wiart. He was an awesome dude and took active part in the fighting but one guy and hostile government doesn't really explain their inclusion. Especially next to the French who provided great help together with Hungarians (who are nowhere to be seen on the list) or at least Americans who provided an entire squadron of volunteers.

Why is that? The British were mostly idle during the most dangerous communist campaign of expansion and now they're trying to make it look as if they took part in its suppression

It's not like wikipedia is owned by the British government.
If you think listing them as a supporter of the Polish is false then remove it and state why you did so to the other editors.

Well look at that it's not even semi-protected.
Looks like the British are there because of their... support for the Whites in the Russian Civil War? It's either that or I don't know. But their inclussion instead of Hungary which provided great support of supplies and volunteers as a part of official governmental policy and next to the French who did the same is a disgrace.
