The responses on the thread have been very fair so far. But as the mayor and coroner identified, such alcohol-fueled killings seem endemic to the British tourists and we have to accept that Crete has a greater diversity of tourists than Cyprus has. Despite the greater diversity, it's back to the Brits causing problems. Not Germans.

It does appear to be a British problem and hopefully the British Ambassador will offer some solutions ...

(It is very embarrassing for Brits and understandable that they wish to distance themselves from these problems.)

How many alcohol fuelled killings have there been in Crete?

I know we had one tourists related killing in Cyprus last year in Cyprus...

Don't know, stud. Even one is too much along with other incidences. Here's the first other one which sounds drink-related (in as much as details are not supplied, other than a bottle was used). Sounds like locals intervening helped the victim survive.

....how many involved Brits?

Dunno, but ...

21 July 2012

The Foreign Office recently came out with statistics that shows shocking and dangerous behavior from British tourists when they are abroad.


The study showed that more than 6,000 Brits were jailed abroad last year, and that the number of reported rapes that involved Brits increased by 10 per cent to 127 cases. Furthermore, the number of Brits who died abroad also increased by 4 per cent. The study also showed that the highest number of hospitalizations involving Brits occurred in Spain, while Greece follows closely behind. These statistics mean that up to ten Britons a day end up in a hospital abroad.

The Office also found evidence that many of the crimes linked to British tourists were fueled by alcohol, especially when the crimes occur in popular holiday destinations like mainland Spain, the Canary Islands, Majorca and Ibiza in the Balearics, Malta, and Cyprus.

In fact, a total of 3,739 UK tourists found themselves in foreign casualty departments. A large proportion of this number was arrested after they consumed heavy amounts of alcohol in places that are known as ‘sun, sea, and sex’ hotspots.

Some of the 6,000 Brits who were thrown in jail abroad were also linked to drugs such as ecstasy and cocaine.

In light of these reports, Consular Affairs Minister Jeremy Browne released an earnest statement addressed to all Brits: “It is important that people understand that taking risks abroad can land them on the wrong side of the law. While we will work hard to try and ensure the safety of British nationals abroad, we cannot interfere in another country’s legal system.” He also said that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of Britain ‘cannot get (Brits) out of jail’.

Personally I do not have a problem with Drunken Brits who engage in criminal conduct being thrown into prison, after a proper trial of course.

I am sure if all the drunken British girls in Agia Napa were laid from end to end....

...No one would be surprised.

Having seen their drunken excesses I would far prefer the majority of young Brit tourists stopped in the UK. And some of the older ones too...

The hammerskins do exist. They a bunch of shit for brains nazi loving skinhead thugs,. They do have a chapter in Oz. this could be genuine.

They are connected with Stormfront, the racist white power site that has members who have posted nasty racist shit about Cypriots.

Yes the group is genuine, but they are not a registered party and if they were they would only get 0.00001% of the vote.

Aussies would not tolerate a bunch of neo nazi skin heads.

The group is an international group which has a chapter in Australia it would seem. Never heard of them before actually.

Racial incidents against any Europeans which includes Greeks, Italians, Cypriots, French etc are virtually non existent.

The most vulnerable groups would be Aboriginals and perhaps Muslims that just make no effort to blend in such as women wearing the Burqha etc. However, incidents are extremely rare, but the racism against these groups of individuals does exist.

The reason why that poster would be a fake is because racism of this type against Greeks is basically unheard of these days. If it was referring to Muslims or Aboriginals, I would think it is genuine coming from such a despicable group of individuals which bring Australia towards ill repute.

Other vulnerable groups might be some Black Africans.

But as I said, virtually unheard of to hear of racial violence in this day and age. Australia is probably one of the safest and most tolerant countries in the world.

Btw I have confirmation the "lady" with the bladder problem is almost certainly not a Brit tourist but an east European cheap porn actress, and the extract is taken from something longer. Filth I think is correct.

It is a clip from a Porn Movie (XXX rated) that has a bunch of women pissing in public. Disgusting!!!!

Can't believe people actually get their rocks off at this kind of thing. I would never advocate any form of violence against any female, but I agree with what the old Greek man did. He was disgusted and so am I.

The female with the "bladder issue" was not British.

You must have lead a sheltered existence. My own tastes in erotica run to some nudity of the sort one might find on late night TV, but There is stuff out there that is a lot worse than this lady "caught short". A simple search for porn will bring up lists of sites with lists of movies, in a variety of categories.Proceed at your own risk . Filth ? Some involves violence. I am beginning to have some sympathy with the censorship brigade. I agree that I cannot see how some get their rocks off. I think my grandfather would have commented on the godless age in which we live.
