    “Sharan Burrow said the work conditions in Qatar were “simply slavery”.”

    And your point is what?

    Do you not realise that many workers in the middle east ARE slaves in reality?

    So the wealthy Muslims have a downer on the poorer Muslims? Of course they do, the richer murdering bastards wouldn't want to get their hands dirty or even close to actual work that these poorer murdering bastards have to do.

    So FIFA didn't know this going in? Pull the other one: it's marked super-sized cheque for Mr. Blatter'.
