While acknowledging that Qatar has problems, its hard to split what is valid criticism of the country from the right wing press just having a free reign on Islamophobia.
Like the sheer amount of articles bemoaning the fact that supporters wont be able to get boozed up - who flaming cares. Its a strict Muslim country, if people had any misconception they'd be ripping into beers in the Sun free and openly, then they are stupid. I seen an article for instance about a British guy walking 10 km's to find a pint. If you cant lay off the booze for a few days, and have to walk 3 hours in 32 degree heat for one, then maybe you have a problem.
My social media feed is composed entirely of DM and Daily Express articles claiming some form of outrage going on. The other day, it said it was outrageous that people were voluntarily queuing for a fan park for a long time, in the sun, without water. Apparently an outrage without compare. Is it the responsibility of a government to make sure people hydrate when its hot? Queuing for big events doesnt happen elsewhere?
