Is it reasonable though to make the argument that successive British governments have been complicit in the abuse of millions people, perhaps to a far greater extent than the Qatari ruling authorities have done?
Half a million civilians dead in two illegal wars, fought on utterly false pretences. Assisting in the deportation and transport of individuals despite knowing they will be tortured.
Selling weapons to countries despite knowing they are committing human rights abuses, like Saudi Arabia and China.
The utterly irresponsible way this current government handled the covid crisis, and the shameless profiteering that went along with it.
The state sponsored cover up of Jimmy Savile, probably the world's most prolific paedophile. I could go on.
I know this is a bit of a diatribe, and actually I feel there is much more to be proud of regarding this country than ashamed of...but feck me we've got to stop believing we've got some divine right to tell other people how to behave and that we are somehow morally superior to them. Because we aint.
