Gary Neville attacks British government for ‘demonising nurses’ in Qatar World Cup debate

After deciding to work for beIN SPORTS and holding an interview for The Overlap in Qatar with Beckham prior to the tournament, Neville hosted BBC’s HIGNFY show where he was given a brutal dressing down by Hislop.

“The others have been very gentle with you Gary, but the elephant in the room is still there,” Hislop said. “You’re commentating there aren’t you? And what’s the defence?”

Neville replied: “You’ve got a choice I think, haven’t you?” Before Hislop added: “What? Going or not going?” Neville then explained his decision and claimed that he was prepared to speak out on the human rights issues, treatment of migrant workers and criminalisation of homosexuality in Qatar.”
