In a book describing his experiences of living in the UK a Portuguese academic based at Imperial College London has some strong words about British culture, the Daily Telegraphhas reported. In the book he describes English culture as “pathologically violent” and criticises British boozing and uncleanliness. "When you visit English homes, or the toilets at schools or in student lodgings, they are all so disgusting that even my grandmother's poultry cage is cleaner," Magueijo writes.
Magueijo’s book is called “Bifes Mal Passados” which means “uncooked beef” and it has so far sold 20,000 copies in Portugal. There are no plans as yet to translate it from Portuguese in to English. The cover of the book shows a picture of man wearing a bowler hat standing in front of Big Ben.
As well as having poor standards of hygiene, Magueijo says the English are “always fighting."
"I have never met such a group of animals. English culture is pathologically violent” he writes.
