Coming from the country that boycots China for alleged human rights violations, but has no problem going to a country with thousands of worker deaths. Gas is an important reason according to the government.

Free and democratic country.

    That’s an interesting point: I wonder if there’s room for some agitprop, here.

    Like, surely the UK, France, anywhere else in Europe is responsible for more shit than Qatar. Albeit not so directly related to the WC and building stadiums, etc.

    But if the football crowd is going to make an ethical stand, they could be encouraged to chant, ‘no more sweatshops’, (I assume this is a problem, although I do not follow football).

      I think the vast majority of football supporters couldn’t give less of a shit about the politics behind it. All the talk of money and corruption in the game is very much a twitter/reddit thing. People’s eyes glaze over if the topic comes up in the pub or the grounds in my experience
