It’s funny, we all have different experiences even when we live somewhere. My godmother has left Barca after ten years because of the rising rates of petty crime and vice plus the boorish behaviour she witnessed frequently from stag and hen dos. When I was last there I saw a moped drive by...

Mine neither, except the petty street crime is everywhere as per the warning signs and I’ve seen it too. But you only need to listen to the locals complaints about foreign vice and mass tourism and they’re far from happy about it.

Huge numbers of stag and hen parties from all over Europe, loads of vice, huge amounts of petty crime I.e. they see far worse on a daily basis so why this is suddenly a massive drama is perplexing. Unless there’s an alternative motive of course.

Precisely. There’s an annual retro festival near me that couldn’t be more middle class if you tried. Morning after it’s littered with bottles and drink debris. All gets cleared up and field restored to normal within a week or so. No faux outrage. Just the society we live in and an expectation...

Innocent people going about...oh please, think of the children!!! What about the children?!!! In other news, car window screens were cleaned by immigrants at a set of traffic lights near Norwich today. Without the owners permission. Who were left traumatised as they innocently just driving about...

That’s how clickbait works sadly.

FFS Wozza, it’s not news just because it’s being reported. And frankly that doesn’t look anywhere near approaching bad for a morning after the night before. Seen far worse outside McDonalds on S.Bank used by hundreds of Spanish tourists who equally don’t use bins we provide them with. That...

That’s nothing, should see the mountains of rubbish foreign tourists leave in London each and every day. And places like Windsor. They have zero respect for the British public and tax payer (who in fairness have zero respect for their environments either) The real story here is human beings are...

Sure as eggs are eggs, you’re right. Few will see what I did there, cleverly adapting a well known phrase c/o a comedic twist. So under appreciated... :(

I think we’re fed this line so routinely over such a long period that we all trot this stereotypical commentary out without thinking ie we now believe it. We can’t see it for what it is: people enjoying themselves in a large group meaning statistically there’s going to be a few who go a bit far...

But that’s not what happened here! Nobody got pushed into the sea. They got wet in a fountain in a city centre amongst a bunch of high spirited fans celebrating. Get a grip for Pedro’s sake. Slightly annoying perhaps but the faux outrage is more prejudicial than anything else. And it’s certainly...

Bizarre comment to make in circumstances. Someone gets wet in a fountain and I don’t think it’s especially newsworthy. That’s something to judge me by?! Wow - It’s now not just the story that’s hyperbole but the readers have gone potty too seemingly.

It’s still hysterical hyperbole. Reveals more people’s prejudices against Liverpudlians than anything else. There’s nothing really to see here. Move along.

Whatever. It’s water. In 25 degrees. There are scores of robberies going on every day in Barca that go unreported. It really is complete hyperbole.

2 people (and we’re told they’re locals but look more likely to be fans) get wet in fountain. So what?!! This is complete hyperbole. Yet another hysterical all football fans are hooligans story.
