  • Speaking as a British person,

    If the problem is our dickheads going over there and ruining the vibe by harassing the locals, sex workers, and pissing everywhere I have a solution:

    Turn the whole area into an LGBT area with Gay Bars and Drag Queens and send over a few of our police to coordinate on patrols with the Dutch police.

    I’m serious, on a night out on Canal Street in Manchester there is almost no dickheads because:

    1. They stay away from Gay Bars because of their own insecure masculinity even though Gay Clubs have better music.

    2. The Drag Queens, most of whom act as front of house, ticketing, and head floor management DO NOT suffer fools and anyone harassing or being a knob will be ejected them from the premises quickly.

    3. The GM police love working with the Drag Queens who stand outside the clubs trying to convince punters to go inside because they’re an active part of keeping the whole area safe by pointing out antisocial behaviour. Also when they don’t have a dickhead to deal with, they’re having a good chat.

    Edit:

    Also a belated apology on behalf of my fellow idiot countrymen. Also I’m of the opinion both sex work and recreational marijuana should be legalised and regualted in the UK. Hopefully that would also help with stemming the flow of idiot tourists abroad.

    The implication is that if you want to find shady shit, you go looking for it with those who give off an air that they have something shady.

    Usually, someone who’s done or said things that have stirred up controversy or general media attention in the past.

    The ones that go unnoticed are the people journalists have to spend a paragraph explaining who this person is and why they’re a big deal.

    Much easier to get a scandal published if the public already recognise them and think “yeah, I thought there was something off about that person”.

    Edit: typo.

    Nope.

    But journalists go looking for evidence for the most likely ones, then the stories come out.

    I like it when people who do this shit are held accountable. Shame that the ones that get held accountable aren’t more often shady business people and politicians.
