The last thing they did unilaterally was the Falklands war, which they barely squeaked by.
England, Britian, UK, whatever.

There was reference in the RT link to reports of an 'unconfirmed' commando presence.
Would anyone seriously be surprised if this was so? A far cry from 'British Troops invade Syria' though! Does the OP work for a sensationalist tabloid?edit on 26-6-2012 by starchild10 because: (no reason given)

Any other sources than RT?
Can't find any UK sources saying British troops involved in any action in Syria? Makes me doubt the credibility of the story to be honest. Rightly or wrongly, our media usually bangs the drum for any action involving our forces.
British forces in Syria, Assad presidential compound said under attack Unconfirmed first reports from British, French and Turkish sources say British special operations forces crossed from Turkey into northern Syria Tuesday, May 26, and advanced up to 10 kilometers inside the country. The same sources report heavy fighting around the Presidential Guards compound on the outskirts of Damascus. Gulf military sources confirmed the presence of British special forces in Syria. Our military sources estimate that the British military drive into Syria, if confirmed, is designed to establish the first safe zone along the Syrian-Turkish border, to be followed by more Western military incursions to establish additional zones of safe asylum in other parts of Syria. The two-pronged operation - the reported British incursion and major clash at the front door of Assad’s presidential palace - would appear to be designed to widen the cracks in his regime and speed its final breakup.
I am not 'waving my flag'. I am Irish. I can't stand Britain because of the history between us. Try again though. I am, however, pointing out the fact that your army is good for nothing except sitting as cannon fodder or using drones to kill your enemies.
