WORLD CUP 2022 CONTRACTOR UK SWEEPSTAKE - enter now to win!!
I am looking forward to getting on my protest Savon de Marseille block and lecturing everyone about how badly Qatar abuses immigrant workers; It's going to be Messi.
Thanks for organising saptastic - a good end to the year.

I come to you today with a message of outrage and sorrow, as I have learned of the many social injustices occurring in the wondrous land of Qatar. Specifically, in the construction of the stadiums for the 2022 World Cup - an event that should be a celebration of sportsmanship and unity, but has instead been marred by exploitation and abuse.
As IT contractors, it is our duty to speak out against these injustices and to advocate for the rights and well-being of those affected. And this includes calling out individuals who profit from these injustices, no matter how small their role may seem.
Which brings me to ATW - one of our own, who supplies kebab meat to the promoters of the World Cup. While providing food for the event may seem like a small and insignificant task, it is important to remember that every action and every decision has an impact. And by choosing to do business with the promoters of the World Cup, ATW is contributing to an system that exploits and abuses migrant workers.
But fear not, dear CUKkers! We have COJAK, the deity of justice, on our side. Let us stand together and demand better for the migrant workers of Qatar. ATW, I implore you to do the right thing and sever your ties with the promoters of the World Cup. Together, we can make a difference and bring about a brighter future for all.
And to our fellow contractor, Swellen, please accept my heartfelt condolences for any difficulties you may be facing following loosing the sweepstake and being closet French. It is important that we support one another in times of need, and I am here for you if you need anything. Thank you.
And a special thank you to saptastic for organizing this contest and bringing attention to these important issues.
