Not being someone who reads the Daily Mail (I was overcome with curiosity) I wonder if our OP could post the links to the quality journalism of the paper as it exposes the problems associated with Qatar mentioned in this article. I assume that as they are criticising others for their lack of action on this matter they must have done a whole lot of great work in drawing attention to these problems and driving change. I looked with interest to see if the Daily Mail themselves were going to boycott the competition and not report on the games, however, I must have missed this part (quite possible as I only skimmed the article as it appears to be of very low value).

I would also ask for the link that shows the paper apologising for their own counts of misogyny, homophobia and racism over the years.

Once I have these links then perhaps I can stop laughing, address the shocking virtue signalling in this article and suggest that they concentrate their campaign on the FA rather than their employee and presenters whose job it is to present their games. Personally, I am right behind any plan that suggests to the FA that they boycott the Qatar world cup.

Infact I will go further. All the time the Daily Mail boycott the world cup by not reporting on it, I will follow their lead and boycott it too. Who is with me?

Expect to see lots of media people going to the world cup saying I struggled with my conscience but on reflection decided it was better to go and 'shine a light' on the injustices ... by that they mean write one article in their **** star Hotel suite and spend 99% of the time talking football.

I note the OP is still online but not offering any defence of his virtue signalling.

I think we have been done here lads.

It was an egregious bit of pro-Mail fishing by someone I have on ignore. Who could possibly have guessed? This will soon be in the bear p...... oh.

Agreed. I would love it if England win their qualifying group and then Southgate and the players declare that they won't go to Qatar. I could forgive Southgate any amount of tactical ineptitude for that.

And many others not coming out too well in this. Whilst the causes of gay rights and women’s equality are absolutely needed and wanted, this just shows that the message from the top is often only espoused as long as it suits and maintains the careers of the rich and famous.

And to those who might choose not to read the article because it is in the Dail Mail, you are also guilty of two faced virtue signalling.

An article about nothing because not one of the pundits/presenters responded to their questions.

However Katie Hind already had her quotes from disgruntled women and homosexuals lined up and decided it was worth writing anyway.

Thinly veiled anti-BBC thread from one of the board’s biggest gonks. Pass.

“….. if we can use this to educate just one Qatari, that’s a success”. Blah, blah, blah.

Don’t lie. You wanted to go to a WC, stay in a 6 star hotel all expenses paid and grab opportunities to see games most football people in the world give anything for.

I’d like to see these people refusing to comment - I’d also like to see them all presented with the evidence of Qatar being this way as they may not have had a clue - so didn’t want to comment on a whole nation’s actions. Then there’s something to talk about maybe…!?

A few years ago my brother's best mate died in an accident, or more correctly was killed because a business was negligent. The way the Daily Mail wrote the story though you could think the fact he was gay and had a boyfriend was the most important thing in the whole incident. It's weirdly like they thought their readers would be more interested in speculating about a lifestyle than actually reading the facts of a tragic case. God forbid, before the inquiry established the facts, almost implying his lifestyle might have contributed. Didn't like them before but I must now for sure be a two faced virtue signaller because I find their small minded, divisive, hypocritical rubbish totally nauseating.

The Daily Mail is a filthy, ugly piece of trash. A friend of my was interviewed by police, along with many others close to the deceased (as is the practice), after someone was murdered.

The paper got wind of it and doorstepped him continually causing grief to his young family. They then published an article trying to find the best connection they could to infer in someone's mind the thought he could be involved. He was not a suspect.

I hate them with every sinew I can muster.

Yes,

From first hand anecdotal evidence of people I trust, this is a good summary of the rag and also expresses my feelings about it.
