Tony - I would say the crucial difference is not that Qatar is any worse than China, SA, Brazil etc but at least we are very aware of the working conditions in these countries and the human rights abuses that go on. I don't think that people are quite as aware about what goes on in ME countries, it certainly had never occurred to me that this was a problem in Qatar.
Good, hopefully having the world cup here will mean a spotlight on the terrible working conditions suffered not only by those working as labourers but also the silent domestic army of qatar!
