Considering the behavior of British tourist globally today, or even the history of their empire, the two words may as well have the same meaning.

I can only apologise for my fellow countrymen. They're pricks, especially a group of lads or the typical Gammon family unit, and it's why I try to holiday in places with as few of them as possible.

Accusing the British of being Brutes is like accusing Germans of being Nazi's. It is rooted in the historic actions of these nations, rather than anything in particular they've done today. Sure British tourist have their stereotypes, but honestly they aren't worse than Chinese tourist, or Muslim migrants. As long as British tourist are still paying customers, many nations will still be happy to host them. Don't take these comments so seriously, it's all in good humor.

Brexit on the other hand is a tragedy so awful that you can wonder how a nation once known for it's ability to govern an empire spanning the entire globe, and innovators of capitalism, made such a stupid decision. Like pointing a gun to your head and pulling the trigger thinking it will cure your headache. It's so ridiculous I still can't come up with a proper insult to throw at the Brits concerning their decision to commit economic suicide.
