You won't find much mention of Qatar in the World Cup advertisements but credit to the BBC and particularly Alex Scott for facing this head on, says JohnnyTheNic

No-one wants to push ads to appeal to the angry people who don’t understand what hypocrisy means and no amount of Declan Rice dancing is going to wipe away all their spittle-flecked faux fulminations.
