The best bits about this thread are the tortuous lengths Mick will go to defend Trump.
So, let's get this clear: the British soldiers led by General Ross (also British) commanding a 4,500-man army, composed of the 4th (King's Own) Light Infantry, the 21st Royal North British Fusiliers, 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot, and 85th Regiment of Foot who burnt down the White House as part of the Burning of Washington were not British at all, they were Canadians.
Got it ..
