    I worked in Qatar and I can tell you the country's people were great they went out of their way to make me feel welcome. On my first day in the country I was deposited in a company house and I ran out of cigarettes, I had no local currency and when I went looking for a currency converter to buy some. A local who was washing his car politely informed me that they would all be closed as it was the Sabbath. He then presented me with £25 worth of local money to get my cigarettes, I don't think that gesture would happen in many places. And yes I paid him back 2 days later, and I've been off the smokes for 13 years..

    Earned a fan Talksport. Thank god a channel has finally had the balls to say exactly what I've been saying and actually getting into heated arguments about, this whole time. Word for word what Simon said, is the way I think. Couldn't have communicated it better myself. The sheer arrogance of our countries leading agenda pushers and a lot of the citizens, is quickly sadly pushing me out of love with the country. I just do not agree with the way ideologies are being forced upon us and I'm not willing to sit back and keep my mouth shut. Qatar is a wonderful place to live, I've been assured this repeatedly by friends who've lived there for years. They work hard, have their beliefs, stuck by them and aren't so weak to be ruled over by the excruciating amount of bullsh*t narratives pushed by our leaders and media.
    I'm afraid, at 31 years old, my time in this country is close to coming to an end. The ideologies do not suit me anymore.

And if you want to compare the right to be gay to the right to drink. You can be gay in qatar just like you can drink in qatar. You just don’t do it in public and premote it and act like it’s good to be a drunk. It’s not ok to walk around half naked or be promiscuous in public. Be gay behind closed doors but in public have some respect for the country and culture your in. It makes me so ashamed to see how ignorant people are. We were fine with Russia hosting.

    Thank you for your fair and unbiased analysis. I had the bbc sport and bbc news apps on my phone. Deleted them both yesterday.
