There's really no way to put a positive spin on this event.
Are we to believe that Qatar's companies are operating with such tight margins, and are so short of money, that their workers are in need of charity?
Or that the government here can't afford to help them, so has turned to members of the public to put their hands in their pocket to help out?
I won't be giving to this appeal, mostly because I can already see the photos in the Gulf Times of someone with a Rolex and $2000 shoes smiling and giving a box to a representative of the workers, trying to take all the credit for other people's generosity.
