NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A group of 40 England fans will be paid to attend the upcoming World Cup in Qatar and deliver positive PR for the gulf state.
The tournament is scheduled to get underway later this month but it will do so amid a backdrop of controversy over Qatar’s human rights record and the circumstances around the way in which it won the right to stage the event.
Amid a growing backlash, The Times reports that as many as 40 Three Lions supporters will jet out on November 17, free of charge.
Once in situ, fans will be expected to sing certain songs during matches and report critical coverage on social media in return for free accommodation as well as a spending limit of £60-a-day.
