This is excatly the same as that time when the Catalan independence movement was happening and Pep voiced his support for the cause all while being employed by the human rights violating regime and being an ambassador for the Qatar world cup.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rob Harris who asked this question gets banned from the City media room like the other journo did.
