You've got to admire Joe Lycett's courage--and style ;)
The worst bit of the entire Joe Lycett thing is all the "legal tender" cunts
"Lycett, in that calm, matter of fact way of his, has stuck a stiletto blade into Beckham on the issue of LGBT+ rights" – https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/joe-lycett-benderslike-beckham-money-shred-b2229110.html
on #joelycett and his #benderslikeBeckham stunt. #DavidBeckham #QatarWorldCup2022
Yes, Joe Lycett shredded £10k OF HIS OWN MONEY (and I'm not totally comfortable with it, if I'm honest - though that's at least partly the point), but let's not forget the real issue here: David Beckham accepted about £10 million HE ABSOLUTELY DOEN'T NEED to be the propagandist of a very dodgy regime indeed.
That's what this is about. That's what people need to be upset about.

Shoutout to people getting mad at @joelycett for shredding £10,000, rather than getting mad at Qatar for basic human rights abuses, or getting mad at FIFA for being corrupt.
As a YouTube person I know is fond of saying, "It boosts engagement".
