I was doing a little research on the Geneva Convention out of interest. I came across this article-

British Home Secretary campaigns to overturn Geneva Convention on asylum from 23 June 2000.

It is interesting isn't it that Britain found it perfectly acceptable to try and scrap part of the convention that didn't suit them and now we are hearing this kittenish mewling from the Guardian.

There is a big difference between campaigning to change a treaty, and violating it.
