Adapt or Die

The UK famously doesn't have a written constitution. This is because circumstance and conditions change over time. So it is strange that we signed up to the 1948 UN Convention on Refugees and the 1951 European Convention on Human Rights. And that we are still bound by them, even though they were drawn up during the Cold War and with the Second World War fresh in everyone's memories.... But we have now left the European Union and have suspended an Extradition Treaty with Hong Kong.... So we could just as easily leave or suspend our commitments on refugees and human rights.
