Laurence Fox doesn't know that Sikhs fought in WW1. Probably thinks that war was won by a handful of public school chaps with pipes in their mouths saying tally ho.
I've often maintained that due to the way the first war is told many British people probably think that it was just the British on the Western front
Fox's exact words were "It's like 'there were Sikhs fighting in this war'. OK, you're now diverting me away from what the story is. There is something institutionally racist about forcing diversity on people in that way."

Well don't tell @LozzaFox but 1 million Indians fought.
