I wonder what the cricketers will be doing in Pakistan in December? Sky will cover the cricket with no mention of human rights, LGBT, systemic subordination of women, violence against women almost an obligation, religious intolerance, extra judicial killings of non-Muslims, forced conversions especially of young girls and different laws for different faiths.

When I asked the first question I rather suspect the answer will be, given what they did last month when they went, and the complete lack of ‘media outrage‘ that followed, they’ll just be playing cricket.

It's more the 6500 dead slaves that bothers me.

People need to be careful what they wish for as, if Qatar pull out of London commercial properties and stop selling us their gas this winter we’re well and truly fu**ed, with no way back!

^Careful" about wishing LGBT people weren't facing death penalties?

Wasn't paying attention yesterday but that bbc opening titles sequence is piss poor. Italia 90 it is not.

They are trying to downplay it whilst still keeping their heads in the trough, I see the pundits in the studio are questioning Englands decision to not brand Kane with the rainbow armband whilst they themselves (For a change) haven't got a badge of any kind on.

Waiting for England to take a knee and the Qatari space cadets to aim their stormtroopers at them :O

But Alex Scott is wearing it out on the pitch before the game. Where are the male pundits? Why only female ones on the pitch?

Sounds to me like flogging a dead horse

Not at all. It’s the stinking hypocrisy that gets to me. If we want Qatar and EVERY country where LGBT people are persecuted to be shunned, fine. Let’s do it with everything and to everyone though and not just kick off at a World Cup.

Given the horrendous human right abuse the rags have dished out to Ronaldo I think City should wear CR7 armbands in the next derby.
