Twelve years. England and the rest of Europe has had 12 years to make a real stand against the hosting of the World Cup in Qatar.
Twelve years, countless investigations and a slew of insights into the plight of migrant workers, who have died building stadiums for the festival of football starting in less than a fortnight.
Twelve years to boycott the tournament on those moral grounds. To take advertisers and the public with them by highlighting the many cases of the workers losing their lives in punishing heat for pitiful pay. A rejection of a World Cup in Qatar would have crippled those plans before they’d even had a chance to get off the ground.
