    I don't think they are worthy world cup hosts in any way which means I was not trying to convince you of that. Was just pointing out that the middle east is big on football as well as human rights abuses and modern (and not so modern) slavery.

    The thing that I still haven’t got an answer for is why these architecture firms, engineering, construction and consulting firms, all very likely listed in London, NY, Frankfurt etc are all being let off the hook.

    Likewise for other countries, it’s not like Malaysia, India, Singapore, Thailand don’t have similar issues. I guess because it’s so blatant in places like Qatar/UAE/KSA etc they’ve put a target on their own backs and with the sports washing it’s being amplified.
