Britain and France didn't bother to do anything while Poland was being invaded and since mobilizing troops would take time, France was determined to be the better place to fight in a defensive land battle but even then they didn't bother to spare any of their navy or airforce to do anything at all.

Poland was given up so relations between Germany and Russia could deteriorate faster and open up a second front (which it did).
That is probably true to a degree, although the UK and France likely would have fought harder for Poland if:
1) They were prepared to fight and
2) They didn't have to sail their armies past Germany to get to Poland. To be fair that was unlikely to have gone well.
