Clearly the only way to stop this problem will be to get rid of the Human Rights act, stop all immigration and hang everybody.

Those people who ought to know better don't have the imagination to aspire to anything more worthy than the lowest common denominator
[Halfhybrid],
Exactly Chavs aren’t poor. I wish people would stop saying they are. Their clothes alone cost a fortune.
Chavs suffer from poverty of outlook. They aspire to nothing more than festering in their squalor until they die from an excess of drugs and junk food. They are Skinner’s pigeons in leisurewear.

"You know RRW, I actually think you're more dangerous than Caltech. His pop-eyed lunacy is laughable... where as you should know better. You are obsessed, twisted and unable to see anything clearly.
Shaggy Dog"
And since when did you elevate to be such an experienced psychiatrist?
I would say your the one who is twisted and consumed with fear otherwise why launch such a baseless verbal assault on what is after all only an opinion?
Lefties like you are all the same!!

Charlie One
Goodness me you must be well travelled to have such knowledge of every UK town and city centre. As i acknowledge that the town where i live has had some trouble due to people over indulging it is certainly not a violence ridden cesspit, which can also be said for probably the majority.

I'll have you know that we have some of the finest quality scum in the world. We built an empire using these sorts of people. Wellington said his soldiers were the 'scum of the earth'. Hooligan is a victorian term for yobbo's that would get into mass drunken street fights in London. Its part of our heritage!!

"However, I would agree that the current hysteria over Poles is getting out of hand.
Roger The Cat"
It certainly is not. The lot living next to us have no respect for their neighbours; they talk loudly 24 hours a day, blast out music at all hours and throw their rubbish into neighbouring gardens. While I am sure not all Poles are like this, my experience has not been a good one.

Ah, another excuse for ‘Chav’ bashing. Well done Beeb. You’ve got the middle-classes feeling all smug about themselves again today.
After all it’s only the poor who misbehave on holiday, everyone knows that.
Keep up the stereotyping. It’s what you’re good at.

Yeah well at least our Brits are only in their country for two weeks, foreigners stay in England for ever.
[Gaz_The_Ledge], London, United Kingdom
Us Brits have a right to go to any country just as other people have a right to come here. What about the thousands of Brits who emigrate to places such as Canada, Australia, the USA and dont look back twice.

I was there, watching the petrol bombs on Westgate. There was little or no "Right Wing Party" presence in Bradford at that time. That's not what started those riots. Where did you read this PC tripe?
[Its_an_Outrage], Northern England
Oh really.Is it perhaps that the BNP are called a socialist left wing party by some people who call themselves right wing? Whatver the BNP were certainly around and were the cause of the rioting. Everyone knows that.

"The Left who hate Britain and think everything foreign is superior are emotionally/intellectual arrested in that phase that most adolescence go through when they hate their parents (the people that provided them with security) and believe everyone elses parent's are better."
Libby The Leftoid, Islingtonia
The right mistake criticism for hatred, and that is the most peurile and immature character trait of all.
Grown ups learn to deal with criticism and use it to improve themselves.

I truly suspect I'm addicted to HYS.
I hate it, yet I can't leave. I try, but I am dragged back to continue this ridiculous tittle-tattle.
I can see I'm not alone. About 10 other people also spend all day on HYS, day after day. Why are we doing this? Is anyone else having trouble quitting? Hours and days flash by for nothing but this silly little game.
Honestly, is anyone else sensing they're hooked? Your behaviour suggests you are.

"I've never been drunk in my life and am a member of the Pioneers which is a Catholic teetotal organisation. Think of what is liable to happen to a girl if she gets drunk on holiday or on a night out - she could get pregnant and tragically opt for an abortion perhaps getting Aids in the process. So this is why I never drink."
Angela Raphael
You REALLY need to lighten up and have some fun, girl.
Alcohol does not cause pregnancy or AIDS.
If you're still not convinced, have a spliff.

Think of what is liable to happen to a girl if she gets drunk on holiday or on a night out -
What? Have sex? Mother nature kinda dictates we do that to keep the population going. So you're saying that all girls that get drunk have unprotected sex, get pregnant, have abortions and become HIV positive? WOW thats a depressing viewpoint. Open your mind a little and understand drinking does not make you have unprotected sex, thats just a bad decision drunk or sober if you dont know someone.

Top tips.
.Don't fly to a destination that a budget airline flies.
.Don't bother bringing a beach towel, a German will kindly leave one out for you.
.Don't bother to learn the language. Learn a few swear words in Dutch or German. They are allowed to be rude because they're richer than us and they own Europe anyway.

I suggest an exchange programme with the United States. They send us all their moronic television. We send them all our morons. Problem solved.

You have been completely misinformed my dear. You can only get pregnant by sitting on a cold radiator.

If you drink, you will have sex, get pregnant and DIE.
Clearly.
Kitsch Object, Belfast, Ireland
That's an assumption. If you drink you MAY have sex, or think you have had sex. You MIGHT get pregnant if you are a woman, but that can happen sober. You can die any time doing anything.

'a girl if she gets drunk on holiday or on a night out - she could get pregnant and tragically opt for an abortion perhaps getting Aids in the process...'
Urgh. You don't 'get Aids', you contract HIV.
Do we need to behave better on holiday?
...a girl if she gets drunk on holiday or on a night out - she could get pregnant and tragically opt for an abortion perhaps getting Aids in the process...
Or she might have a cracking night out.
After a few months when she is doing something really tedious she remembers the happy nights out and she smiles.
With all the wrongs that religion has cause over the centuries, I find your argument very hypocritical.

"What I'm going to do is ban all cheap flights thus getting rid of the problem of drunken yobs abroad whilst at the same time reducing climate change. Brilliant eh?"
Or an idea equally fitting for today's Britain.
This looks like a job for Captain Tax!

Richard B, S.Wales
Dear Richard, I'm not saying I dont want the working class, of coarse I do, they're very usefull. I just don't want them going abroad. It's not like they'd miss it, they forget everything that happens after 11.30 am anyway.

"Any cause or ideology bandwagion that is even mildly anti British you guys are there."
R. Rightwing
You're saying it is not acceptable to criticise British culture and we must look in a rose-tinted way.
Slaves should be happy we ended slavery not annoyed we started it.
Immigrants should intergrate into a community of racists.
The Queen, gawd bless 'er, is untouchable.
etc
But I criticise my own culture's failings more confidently than criticise others cultures I don't belong to.

Righty Rightwing
You are a funny guy thanks for the entertainment. Yes all lefties hate England sooo much. You are still on about racism!. You protest too much methinks the facts are we all know every day you post racist biggoted bile on HYS and now you are complaining about racism! Hahaha.
Harry you are equally as funny and you say other people don't listen yet you only listen to people who agree with you. Anyone who disagrees is an anti English lefty! hahaha

What makes me ashamed to be British are these weirdos who go aboard, pretending to be someone of a different nationality.
What if the locals find out you're lying?
Not a good example, huh?

Do you think Harry and Righty had an irony-ectomy? Or are their posts extressing seriously held opinions?
Either way, they are two of the funniest geezers here!

Why are the British left soooooo defensive about their anti British racism?
Just look at the responses to my last post - why so sensitive guys?
Just admit it - any cause or ideology bandwagion that is even mildly anti British you guys are there en masse - with the exception of Alex Gache who has put forward a more sensible view.
Change the word "British" in this HYS to any other nationality & the same people here engaged in anti British racism would be running to the mods.

Pot-kettledom would certainly apply to some of your posts. That isn't debate - nor is your previous post.

Do we need to behave better on holiday?
Yes we should behave better.
We are out of control drunken louts with no respect for anybody.
I think basically we should all just crawl into a hole and stay there.
The whole world is better than us.
Or maybe we are just fed sensationalist news stories that everybody takes as gospel?

The racist stereotyping of the British here is not on
Righty Rightwing
Yes but then you go on about the evils of the immigrants every day. You are the biggest hypocrite on HYS and you should be ashamed of yourself. The facts are there is more of a minority who behave badly overseas then our European friends. That is a fact. Our people should not put up with these people and hence will complain, This is not racist at all. We are allowed to criticise our behaviour even if you do not like it.
Do we need to behave better on holiday?
All this national embarrasment could be resolved by banning the working class from holding passports (except in times of war, ofcourse!).

Martin Armitage, you are clearly one of these yobs we are reading about. I have lived in the States for 16 years and have yet to see in the city centres the gangs of vomiting, drunken, foul-mouthed, ignorant gits I see when I come home to England. They, and you for condoning such beheviour, are a disgrace and an embarassment to their country.
Do we need to behave better on holiday?
The English behave this way at home, the English beleave they are still an empire so treat foreigners with rudeness and disdain. These people should not be allowed to leave the counrty as they are closer to animals than humans, shouting "we love the queen" as they smash windows, urinate in the street, and beat up other European tourisits, you are a disgrace.

Except when you provoke the Algerians once too often and they go on the rampage in your housing estates.
[Peter_Sym], Nottingham
Actually, it wasn't just algerians, they were french. They are part of the fabric of our country. We live with a large immigrant population (the largest in Europe), and the unity in our country is FAR greater and stronger than the unity in yours. We don't need politically correct language in France to cover our incompetency in living in peace. We are at peace!

Never mind brits abroad , what about here in England. We live in a nation where parents do not teach their kids any respect or manners if they misbehave they still get some new nike trainers init! , and grow up to be yobs and trouble makers! What i suggest is an gistapo type slap squad who get the nuiscance persons and there parents and kick the living daylights out of them and not stop until they learn some manners and respect. Nobody likes being punched repeatedly in the face do they ?.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office says a disproportionate amount of consular assistance is given to Britons visiting the Czech city.
More Britons lose their passports, get arrested or hospitalised in the country than some more popular destinations.
Top of the list of countries where Britons require consular assistance is Spain - also the most popular holiday destination.
Do the British behave worse than other nationalities when abroad? Should we be more thoughtful? Have you needed consular help in a foreign country? Send us your comments and experiences.
