I realise Glasgow can feel a bit like a warzone but can a panto break the Geneva Convention?

I honestly though this was a Gag I was under the impression that clause was put in to prevent combatants pretending to be Red Cross workers for various covert reasons!!
You'd think so wouldn't you?

According to Wiki:

The Geneva Conventions comprise rules that apply in times of armed conflict and seek to protect people who are not or are no longer taking part in hostilities, for example:

  • wounded or sick fighters
  • prisoners of war
  • civilians
  • medical and religious personnel
