Despite the fact of the Burmese military having an appalling human rights record, Britain has been giving training to this monstrous regiment at the cost of British tax-payers.
In September 2017, a group of 157 MPs called on the then Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson to halt Britain’s military training in Myanmar, which cost the UK around £305,000 in the previous year. Although in response, Mr Jhonson said, Britain was not giving any combat training to the Myanmar military. Rather it was educating them on democracy, leadership and the English language.
