I'm delighted for Qatar overall, congratulations to them and their bid!

I'm sure that laws on alcohol will be relaxed enough for anyone who enjoys drink in moderation to have a good time. If they lock away some of the scum bags then good on them!

Some real issues with regard to slave labour though. I would hope that FIFA will put pressure accordingly, but sadly I suspect the building sites will be full of workers from the sub-continent earning peanuts. This is totally wrong and not what the world cup should be about.

Qatar Airways will be delighted and although the world cup is only one month in 2022, the profile of Qatar has, in the space of a few hours, now risen exponentially. I'm sure that was the idea all along.
