Richard Keys defends Qatar, claims migrant worker death reports are made up [Tweets]

Disgraced former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys has attracted a bit of attention today due to his determined defence of Qatar.

Keys works and lives in Qatar now, employed by a range of football reporting outlets including Al-Jazeera and BeIN Sports.

Qatar have been in the media spotlight ever since they were awarded the 2022 World Cup due to their human rights violations and unsuitability for the role.

Reports of migrant workers’ deaths have been varied and it’s no secret that the people who are building stadiums in Qatar are essentially slaves.

But Keys, who resigned from his Sky Sports role after his misogynistic ways came to light, claims that the death reports are made up.

He claims that there has not been one fatality among the 3500 people working on five stadiums in the country, keeping his sources to himself.

Look at Keys’ fallacy below.

I know you like accuracy @ColinMurray. Been doing some checking. 3500 workers on 5 stadia sites 6 million hrs worked – no fatalities. — Richard Keys (@richardajkeys) May 29, 2015

@KewRose Accurate statistics from people who have to keep record of these things. — Richard Keys (@richardajkeys) May 29, 2015

@RobGilbz What do you need to know? I have never witnessed a problem. There's plenty of diversity here. I know. I live here. — Richard Keys (@richardajkeys) May 29, 2015

@Dubaipresh Thats correct. A lot of people are making a lot of noise on a subject they know nothing about. I live here. I know. — Richard Keys (@richardajkeys) May 29, 2015

Just as an FYI, all the agencies monitoring deaths in Qatar 2022 construction are wrong and @richardajkeys is right https://t.co/HvzPIv1yR5 — Marina Hyde (@MarinaHyde) May 29, 2015
