The accused holidaymakers, aged between 25 and 28, made homophobic comments throughout the journey from the Nottingham terminal to the Canary Islands on Thursday, February 8, and carried on doing so on the bus from the aircraft to the terminal.

So often in Spain, when I witness my countrymen, and women, I feel a deep sense of shame that I belong to the same island as them .

I totally agree with christineinseville above. Why do so many Brits abroad act like idiots. I remember when I was working in Cyprus, I got so embarrassed by the things they would do in the end I would not talk to anyone as I did not want them to think I came from the same country as these morons - sorry to say and it still get worse....
