One of the main reasons for the UK's none involvement in the Vietnam War was their role in the Indonesia-Malaysia War which took place at the same time. Britain fought a war against Communist forces similar to that of the US against the Viet Mihn (except unlike the US, Britain won).

Also there was a strong anti war feeling in the UK, it would have been political suicide to back the Vietnam war.
