There's enough outrage and vitriol about this all over that this is fine (probably). Provided you don't name names or make threats you're ok. As for leaving, there's no way until my contract is up. Embassies won't help unless you're in serious poo poo (the British embassy wouldn't give any assistance to a mate who was arrested on completely spurious charges in Oman and had to sleep rough for two months), and besides being painted into a corner here I'm worse off back home. If I were single and childless I'd have left three years ago.

You took your family to Qatar and signed a contract saying you couldn't leave? Jesus, man, you need to get out of there before you get two creepy little Qatari girls appearing in front of you saying "Come work for us, [your name], for ever ... and ever ..."

He was of Algerian descent.

But the point is that Qatar won't be doing war crimes against a UK citizen, it'll all just be kinda lovely.

As BSE said, I'm white and privileged, and besides my employer threatening me, forcing me to work for half of what I should be earning, the only threat I'm under is defaulting on payments. My situation is a walk in the park compared to most.

There are hundreds of thousands of expat families here and if you're making bank, life is really good. I, like everyone here, came to make easy tax free income. I got a little unlucky. didn't mean to turn this thread into my personal E/N.

Next week my situation will be clearer. If I can't negotiate an exit from the company, I'll be packing it in and leaving when my visa expires in July

Blatter was always against Qatar holding the World Cup. The real evil twats are Platini and the European members of FIFA who accepted Qatari bribes and deals for massive club sponsorships in exchange for their votes.

This might be true, but don't even start to think that Blatter isn't a real evil twat. Every single person to ever vote for Blatter is a real evil twat, even when he was the only one running.

Remember when people thought he'd be "different"? Seems like he learned well from his time at Juve that money speaks the loudest (doubly so when it's laundered to your family via a CxO job at a "sportswear" firm)

Nobody would give a single gently caress if none of the home nations showed up for any international tournaments. In fact, most would be glad that they don't have to deal with 10,000 English twats and a loving band.
