How come the people who are arrested for being drunk on an aircraft are always British?

To be honest im British, and i pretty much agree with you!!

They can get really rowdy, and agressive when drinkin to much!!

Because the British media do not report when other nations nationals get arrested - why would any one here be bothered if a German was arrested on a German air plane for being a nuisance?

dilly

cos the brits are well known p*ssheads !!!!

No it is not always the British| but you are right it usually
"seems to be" because the British media so loves to highlight these kinds of incidents also highlighted in comparable news reporting e,g., I recall reading about British merchant seamen misbehaving ashore far more appallingly than any other seafarers due to alleged inability to hold their drink. Much publicised British football hooliganism throughout the 20th century was always drink related ? Trouble by British holidaymakers in Spanish or Greek holiday resorts also drink or drug related, and of course the British tabloids continue to love to highlight any scandal that will outrage readers and UK
journalists are better tha others at exaggerating to make events appear more appalling, because that is what helps sell their newspapers.

Because we get away with it. Our courts don't properly punish these thugs but instead lets them off with some pathetic warning or probation so there is no deterent. If we started with hefty fines and jail sentences plus confiscation of passports then we'd see a reduction in this sort of behaviour.

We export a lot of dipsomaniacs.

because newspapers don't comment on what the other contries are doing, i was in the airport when the woman from kos were there (the ones that tried to open the doors) and they were acting like complete prats then, but no one said anything to them.

Because british people are regarded as the easiest people to be drunk.Just try to count on how many pubs are in the UK.
