Not from Europe, but it reminds me of how Amsterdam has been actively discouraging young men from the UK from visiting because they have a reputation for being rowdy and getting in trouble.

I haven't been there in 20 years but I'm not surprised. Back then there was a tidal wave of drunk, loud men from the UK whenever they had a bank holiday.

My unsolicited advice to people wanting to visit the city has always been to not go during UK long weekends and if they're only looking for drugs and sex, that both can be sourced closer to home.

Huh? Why Brexit? Why would someone be upset with the British when they left the EU? Maybe one asks why, but angry or resentful? :))

Of course not. Free yourself from the media bubble.
