@Ryan-uh9le Um, Britain is definitely a country with multiple nations in it...

@atas2561 Don't be sorry.

Some tourism is great, but when it's too much and services like the police can't keep up it might be time to turn on the breaks a bit. We've had similar issues to this here in Norway with young party goers keeping the locals in among other places Lofoten awake at night with loud music and drunk and disorderly behavior.

 @MB-lb3zy Way to be racist and prejudiced...

@atas2561 Don't worry about him. This stuff isn't your fault. And he's just taking out his frustration on you rather than the real culprits... We have had similar issues here in Norway. And it can get frustrating sometimes. But that doesn't mean that you or anyone else that actually behave should feel bad about what others are doing.

@jlmop-fc8lv Um, who did? That post of yours is kind of confusing me.

@IrishLadASMR Great Britain isn't technically a country, but the UK is. But since the majority of people in the UK lives on the main island of Great Britain and Great Britain is used essentially as a de facto synonym for the UK even if it's technically not a de jure synonym... This kind of country of countries kind of situation tends to end up happening when you have personal unions between monarchs. The Kings and later the dominant nations involved tends to push for integration of the junior partners, while the junior partners try to resist and pushes for greater autonomy. As long as the UK remain a federal structure rather then a confederate structure the UK will remain a country and Scotland, Wales and England will remain nations within the UK. And no, I'm not a unionist. Personally I think that the UK should be split up. Scotland and Wales actually have proportional electoral systems with functional multi-party systems and a proper political climate unlike England... But I'm not British, so yeah...

@IrishLadASMR The UK parliament is able to veto Scottish calls for independence. UK courts (and its unwritten constitution) applies in all the member nations... Ergo, it's a country no matter how much you dislike it... It might not stay a country, but right now it is. Look up the definitions for country etc and you'll see that there's no doubt about the UK being a country. Now Scotland, Wales etc being countries or not is a different matter and depends on the definitions for "country" in use. If you use a definition of "country" that requires a country to be a sovereign state then they're not. But to a large degree because of the UK there's also other definitions of "country" at play. Since Scotland and Wales have the ability to make separate laws, have many separate state apparatuses as well as having separate national identities and historically have been separate sovereign states even though they're not currently sovereign states and since they have a great deal of autonomy etc they may qualify as it a country as well under some definitions... But the UK as a whole definitely does as long as it has the final say when it comes to Scotland and Wales. As for northern Ireland... God, that's its own mess... But I believe no one is claiming that is a country yet since those that want it separate from the UK wants it to merge with the Republic of Ireland rather than be its own independent country and its population tends to identify as either Irish or British rather than differentiate between Irish and Northern Irish in terms of identity, although I'm sure that there's some exceptions...

@IrishLadASMR You're mixing up your terms...
