AI Overview
"A "British hooligan on holiday" refers to English football fans (often with a "lad" culture) causing trouble abroad through binge drinking, disorder, and fighting, though organized hooliganism has decreased, with modern issues focusing on "laddish" behavior and police deploying plainclothes officers to monitor and prevent incidents at international tournaments. Authorities, like the FA, try to curb this "exported" bad behavior, using UK laws to issue bans for offenses committed worldwide, as seen with stricter passport surrender rules for events like Euro 2024"
