This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup.
Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.
I think itโs obvious that the Me Too movement and the trial of Harvey Weinstein sparked an extreme McCarthyist response from a billionaire class that moved to buy and exert influence over media and democratic institutions, and I think that this manifested in several quite clear ways in Britain.
