Gary Neville was interrogated over his involvement in the Qatari World Cup while hosting Have I Got News For You last night.
Neville will be flying out to Qatar to commentate on World Cup matches, despite calls from the football community for high-profile figures to boycott the tournament.
Thousands of migrant workers are understood to have died in the process of preparing Qatar for the World Cup, with the country itself having an awful human rights record.
Despite all of that, Neville, and others, see no issue in travelling to Qatar to work on the games and presumably receive a healthy sum of cash in return.
Neville was not going to be let off the hook while acting as a guest host on Have I Got News For You, either. He was held to account, and how…
It’s a difficult situation for Neville, whose reputation has been tarnished by his willingness to accept money from the Qataris and opt against boycotting the tournament.
You could see that the interrogation made him seriously uncomfortable – and that’s likely because he knows that he’s made the wrong call here.
