Jeremy Bowen said football is massive in Asia as witnessed by the viewing figures in Morocco & Egypt????

About 0.5% of the population of Egypt live east of the Suez Canal and are therefore in Asia. Clearly he was referring to that ;-)
Haven't quite worked out the Morocco justification yet!

Another day, and another beer related headline story.(and again, and again)



Looking back over the 4 weeks of the Oatar World Cup, what is your abiding memory of it? Beer stories.

But what about the hard hitting questions about human rights, slave workers, deaths on the construction sites, bribes to win the World Cup, etc?

Is that to come?

Jordan claims he spoke to him off air about it so it all good...

All these preching pundits could have made a point by doing their work from studios in the uk.
They have no reason to go apart from the money.

And suntan.

Off air! How convenient.

You mean good thing Jordan doesn't know what blithering idiot in Arabic is.

Don’t think anyone is, but there is a fundamental difference in the respective laws in both countries that leads to those numbers being what they are in the first place. Put our laws in place there and the numbers would be obscene. I get the point about companies but a lot will go with the lowest point they can do to conform to the laws of the countries they operate in.

Taking away how they got it in the first place, I don’t mind a country like Qatar hosting it. Nor do I mind issues being pointed out either. Both increase the potential for change.

Imagine if Grenfell had happened in Doha & not London. Imagine if knife crime was out of hand & gangs openly sold crack on the streets.

The World Cup reporting is hysterical. Good time for the Government. Keep the cost of living and the economical collapse out of the headlines. Instead let’s all argue over beer!

football should have nothing to do with politics.

The narrative and agenda is set. Now we all have to listen and watch it play out.

Main point is that Qatar should not have had a World Cup. Similarly, Mansour should not have purchased City. Proceed now to finding any negative angle and ram it down peoples throats until it becomes media law. It’s all going to be ok though as America has it next. The greatest human rights country the world has ever seen.

History is littered with unspeakable inhuman acts. Today is no different. Russia is a perfect example of this. It will never end. We have all been conditioned to think and act in a certain way depending on the country we were born into. The script is set. Nothing more than a different form of religion. #Brainwashing
