'Fat, drunk and sunburnt'. Unfortunately, the Germans are right, that's exactly what the British are like on holiday.
I saw three British girls, skirts up, knickers down, bent over with their butts pressed up against the inside of a huge bar window facing right onto the street, at 3 in the afternoon, in Turkey. It wasn't a pretty sight, particularly as they were all a god 20 kilos overweight.  (Well, I say British, lets narrow that down to Northern British.)

Nah, He's just making sure that he posted it right. 
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

And why do these ladies insist on getting drunk and singing "Doncha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" at karaoke?

Ah yes. Don't you just love stereotyping?

Well, it's better than monotyping[^] - at least you get some depth...

In this case it is closer to duck-typing.

As a Brit, the behaviour of some of my compatriots "out foreign" is the second most embarrassing thing I feel.
The most embarrassing is the (thankfully now quite rare) Rover 75.

Odd, I don't know what makes you mention it then, since I posted about more Israelis dying of circumcision than Hamas rockets in there.

Because it's on the Morris Dancer application form: "Are you circumcised?"
Answering "Yes" is an automatic rejection, because you have to be a complete pr*ck to be a Morris Dancer.

Nick Griffin (or his paternal line ancestor) is not English - he is of immigrant stock from Co Kerry, Ireland.

Then why hasn't he tried to deport himself back? I'd happily chip in for a one-way ticket...

Well he is an arcane old relic. Presumably he still believes Ireland is part of Britain. 
Also 'indigenous Britain' is a very fuzzy term. He can twist it to mean whatever is appropriate for the context.
