The World Cup in 2022 should be fun then!
A lot of the Daily Mail commentators are making the point that tourists from the Middle East certainly don't show Brits the same courtesy by wearing Burkas - I guess its a salient point, but I think we in Britain show the Qatari's to be the repressive regime they are by allowing people to wear what they want, and not dictate to people what they can and cannot wear.

Yes indeed.
Corruption at it's finest.
I'm glad they reprinted that flyer in colour. I was convinced that the third image from the left was naked from the waist down in the first photograph.:o. I mean, I know football fans get out of order but not to that extent.
Which is why, despite all the outcry, it won't get switched to anywhere more suitable. That would mean the corrupt slime-bag Sepp Blatter and his cronies handing their suitcases of money back.
its their rules at the end of the day, if you you don't like it, don't go there
Its not really fair enough for any women who live out there thought who might not want to be told by the state what they can and cannot wear? Would you be happy if the UK Government brought in laws saying what you can and cannot wear?
It is repressive to dress modestly, we should have a right to bollock naked since it is part of Western culture since Ads created a thread on DS
Some people think it is repressive that we have laws against speaking about the monarch in a negative way.
What on earth are you on about?
I doubt Britain issues a leaflet on what to wear when coming here to see the World Cup. I don't think Britain has a dress code anyway. There's alsorts of clothing styles in Britain.
Please tell me what is repressive about wearing clothes? Are you naked when you go to tesco? Nope, why make racist comments about Qatar?
It does.
Do tourists who go to any of these backward countries participate in murdering their slaves according to their cultures and values?
I doubt FIFA were that bothered about the political and civil rights in the country, just how much cash they could get into 'the bank account'.

Democracy versus dictatorship. Which one would you visit. Yep, I wouldn't be visiting Qatar (ever). Not until, it totally re-invents itself. The difference being is the UK is a pretty liberal country when it comes to dress code (amongst other things) and Qatar basically isn't.
And we're only on page 1 !
Edit - oh, page 2 now...
