Qatar....... Its not too late.

[Bod ...]

England need to pull out of the world Cup in Qatar for equality and human rights

Boris and his chums won't pull the rug as there's too many back handers and trade deals done.....

So it's down to the English football governing bodies to give the nod.

 

[Mottie]

Is that the tournament that Beckham is ambassador for?

 

[transam]

The World Cup will go ahead

football is big bussiness

I doubt most football fans give a stuff about Quatars human rights

and it should have nowt to do with
The UK government

similar caper happened at the Russian olympics way back thatcher did not want uk athletes to turn up

it was generally ignored afai recall

Governments do what's good for them. But there is nothing stopping Football taking a stand.

Nicola normally puts her hand above the wall... surprisingly very tight lipped about this..... and the Welsh...... I wonder why?

 

[transam]

Saudis have bought out Newcastle foot ball club ?

 

[Ihavenojob]

Maybe other countries can boycott the UK for the way we treat pensioners, the poor and ex armed forces personnel .

 

[The Samaritan]

Oe of the reasons we won't be watching it. We are not football fans but do watch the bigger matches in the WC.

Boris and his wealthy chums could nor give a hoot about human rights.

 

[gas112]

yeah but it will be ok the players can take the knee and that will leave them with a clear conscious of what goes on over there

I just laugh out loud at all this stuff. The right things are said by those in power and/or the event organisers, but in reality little changes behind the scenes. The swamp is still well and truly alive, covers the globe and is filled by all sort of scum.
