NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Joe Lycett hasn’t slowed down on his mission to get David Beckham to give up his Qatar ambassadorship, asking whether he should ‘expect radio silence’ from the former footballer.
In August, Beckham confirmed his reported £10million deal with an advert promoting Qatar tourism released in September ahead of the major sporting event.
Shining a light on Qatar’s human rights record, which includes homosexuality being illegal, the lack of women’s rights and the death of more than 6,000 migrant workers since the country was awarded the World Cup 10 years ago, Lycett threatened to shred £10,000 rather than giving it to charity if Beckham doesn’t give up the partnership.
In a new tweet, he revealed he’s attempting to get in touch with Beckham’s representatives.
