I have to say that imo someone would have to be certifiably insane to travel to Qatar to watch the World Cup. For a start it's only their because of bribery and corruption with that little weasel Blatter suddenly discovering 10 years later that Qatar is a small country! Pull the other one you spiv.
Plus I find nothing wrong with James Cleverly's advice for homosexuals to watch their step if they go. I'd say that is a responsible warning and it is unfair to accuse him of shoving them back in the closet. Crikey in Qatar the ultimate penalty is the death sentence! Maybe a more homophobic politician would have simply said nowt!
As for the 11th hour no alcohol ruling in the Stadia it's probably to be expected, refer to my opening sentence above. If they hadn't done it now it would only take a flash point at one of the games before it is introduced. However just imagine if you book a cruise holiday only to get on board and discover EG have bought the company and off loaded all the alcohol to be sold, according to their naked double standards in Asda! Soft drinks and lassa only for 14 days! One would justifiably be pretty pissed off.
