Can one assume that what you actually meant was 'get a life'?
I think if one is brutally honest then many of us simply object to the fact that this overrun is, well, very un-British! When our own chaps muck-up we feel justified in castigating their actions, vociferously if need be, because these are 'our boys' and they deserve a dollop of chastisement as well as a good ribbing.
We feel less comfortable 'abusing' foreigners and so prefer it when they commit their faux pas elsewhere!
But, this could just be me.
