Lewis Changing His Helmet.

[webbo3]

So virtue signalling Lewis is changing his helmet in support of the LGBGTXYZ community in Qatar but for got about the slave labour and the 65,00 workers that have died building the stadiums.

But he's still going to race there isn't he.

Good luck to him. The Qatari record on gay rights is atrocious. He has no say in where he is sent to race, and the stadium thing, while I agree is another atrocious act, has little to do with F1, it's for next year's World Cup.

Which part of his body are we talking about?

[Mozz71]

I hope it's his headwear Hymie, although if it isn't, you'd have to admire his devotion to the cause.

You seem to have added a zero to the end of your figures, Webbo. The exact number of deaths that can be related to stadium construction projects is hard to ascertain though.

So I did.

[bobbinwales]

I seen that figure before and how its been abused., them people have died in Quatar since the stadium building started but could of been for all sorts of reasons nothing to do with the stadium, many were nothing to do with the building of the stadiums

[royfromaus]

Tell me more, bob.

[bobbinwales]

No need. The 6500 is meanlingless. From the report "There have been 37 deaths among workers directly linked to construction of World Cup stadiums, of which 34 are classified as “non-work related” by the event’s organising committee. "
So one says 3 one says 6500. Ones too low am sure but ones far too high. But if you have counted them then tell us your figures

[royfromaus]

But if you have counted them then tell us your figures

Oddly enough...I haven't counted them.
What 'all sorts of reasons' examples have you got?

[webbo3]

Lots of figures.

Your making the same mistake of saying 6500 migrant workers have died over a certain number of years and oh look there building new stadiums therefore 6500 deaths must be due to building stadiums. yet you ignore the official response that its tens not thousands.
Still am not sure what that's got to do with lgbt+ and why someone can't campaign on an issue that's important to them without covering every other issue in the world. Maybe it's because he was a bit campaigner that some are so hostile to him.
The treatment of migrants is an equally good issue si maybe you can start a high profile campaign webbo and not leave it all on Hamiltons shoulders

[bobbinwales]

Bit campaigner = auto correct for BLM campainer
