Gary Lineker slams James Cleverly for ‘compromise’ advice to LGBT football fans ahead of Qatar World Cup

Gary Lineker has criticised James Cleverly after the Foreign Secretary suggested LGBT football fans attending the World Cup in Qatar should show “compromise” and respect the country’s ban on homosexuality. Mr Cleverly urged fans to show “a little bit of flex and compromise” and to “respect the culture” of the host nation, where homosexuality remains a crime, prompting criticism from campaigners including Peter Tatchell.
