COMEDIAN SHREDS £10,000 OVER BECKHAM’S DEAL
A British comedian shredded £10,000 ($11,900) in bank notes after giving David Beckham an ultimatum to pull out of his role as an ambassador for Qatar at the World Cup. Beckham is working for Qatar, which has been criticised for its treatment of foreign workers, LGBTQ+ rights and restrictive social laws. Joe Lycett said last week he would donate the money to charity if Beckham agreed to cut ties with the World Cup host or he would shred the money before the tournament began. On Sunday, Lycett, dressed in a rainbow dress, posted footage of him putting two stacks of £5 notes into a woodchipper.
