I heard Elon musk is rumoured to put mars forward as a potential host. He's got the money to influence FIFA anyway
Joe Lycett - Qatar/Beckham debate

So many people rubbed up the wrong way by Joe Lycett shredding his own money. Sort of pales in comparison to how much money the government has shredded of our own money.
I think we need to ignore this stunt and refocus the anger somewhat.

reverse - qatar gave him money/investment for twitter. - so maybe ridiculous lycett guy has been prioritized in searches.

A fool and his money are soon parted. ..
Agreed.
Had he spent 10k for an advertising board in London (with a very limited reach compared to this), not a soul would have battered an eyelid.
Do you think the 10k was required at all for him to reach the same audience?
May have been more poignant and heartfelt if he was shredding a treasured Beckham shirt that he most definitely never had.

Possibly have a better human rights record than China and everyone was very quiet when they hosted the Olympics, weren’t they?

So he didn’t shred the £10k
The shredding of the Attitude Magazine is much more poignant. Good on him.
He’s very good at getting a message out there and getting people talking. Guys an artist and a genius.

Guy's a fud. Using emotional blackmail and peer/cancel culture to push his POV like a spoilt petulant child.
What kind of a genius picks a mark without enough leverage, gets ignored and ends up doing a 1 man show in a garage.

ah yea. No one is talking about the hypocrisy of Beckham. And no one is talking about gay rights in Qatar. My mistake.
ah yea? Beckham didn't bite. He's still attending. We are overwhelmingly watching the world cup.
End result is nothing but hand wringing.
