Of course but the employer can also very quickly sack them if they aren’t worth what they are being paid(in fact they have two years to do so)
Why do you think there is minimum wage legislation to begin with?

Literally owned by the Qatari government.

Yep, hence putting al jazeera warning, but its all 100% true.
I have been to every single gulf country and they are all like that.
Watch youtube videos, tiktok videos or any other source of information if you like.

The Guardian have been running puff pieces saying how safe the wc is for women etc, are they are your acceptable list?

Remember South Africa, the warnings about street crime and how not to become a victim during the world cup. Similarly with the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. I expect Qatar is a lot safer than either of the aforementioned venues.

I must admit, it was great watching some of the games in Morocco in a public square. No violence, no hooliganism, no getting covered in beer, just people and families having a nice time. After the game, everyone headed away in good spirits. All because of a lack of alcohol. Very refreshing. Even my missus, who hates football, commented it was a nice event and had a good atmosphere and was ok stopping to watch.
Compare that to how people celebrate here…

i don’t think it’s just alcohol related. It’s just having strict laws with adequate enforcement. In the U.K. fans know they will get away with trashing a city centre, in Qatar? Not so much.I must admit, it was great watching some of the games in Morocco in a public square. No violence, no hooliganism, no getting covered in beer, just people and families having a nice time.

You start a riot or throwing traffic cones there and it will be quashed pronto and you’ll probably be chucked in jail or straight onto a flight back home.

Quite easy if you cherry pick news articles.
Violence in the stadiums: Morocco’s football ultras pass the buck back to the state
Less than a month after fans returned to Moroccan football stands, two stadiums have been the scene of brawls and arrests. Widely blamed for the incidents, the ultras point the finger at authorities

etc etc
I was comparing actual life experience rather than newspaper articles. I was there, it felt safe and I didn’t see trouble. I was also around for the George square ‘riots’ and walked around Saltmarket the day after Celtic fans trashed it. It certainly wasn’t the atmosphere I had in Morocco. I think the difference is alcohol.Quite easy if you cherry pick news articles.

Not sure what your point actually is here?

Football hooligans gonna football hooligan (unless they are Japanese <3)
I've been to Football games in Scotland and felt perfectly safe too, you were the one that compared the two. My point is, you can't really compare something with a snapshot of your time spent there when there clearly is also a football violence issue.
I was more referring to public celebration of games, as the three events I mentioned weren’t at stadia. I guess I was just highlighting that I (and my football hating missus) felt safe and welcome at a screening of Morocco games and I suspect it’s because of a lack of alcohol. I haven’t felt that at other occasions in Scotland. Although I’ve felt fine at games I’ve been to, though there is an undercurrent of uneasiness and tension. My missus certainly wouldn’t want to stand in George square and watch football on a tv as she’d be worried about the fans, this worry just didn’t happen in Morocco.
It’s possibly unfair to compare international games and club games as Scotland fans apparently travel well but I haven’t been to a public Scotland game/showing outside of a pub.
It’s interesting the English and Welsh were fighting each other in Benidorm but I’ve not heard of any reports of major violence in Qatar. I do think the lack of alcohol creates a more fun, family friendly, party atmosphere which I think is a better environment compared to the edgey, nervous violent tension often experienced at UK football events.
Just sharing my experience as I thought it was quite unique.

Perhaps "I should NEVER have gone to Qatar ", makes for better English syntax. Irrespective of his peculiar capitalisation.

Maybe, although I bet his english is better than your Danish.
