A leading Portuguese academic has written a book branding the English as dirty, drunken and promiscuous. According to The Telegraph he also labels his hosts (for he teaches in the UK) as “animals”. The book is, apparently only available in Portuguese, there being no plans to produce an English language edition, (I can’t for the life think why that might be)! In the event that the book is, in fact translated into my native tongue I would be fascinated to read what this gentleman has to say about my fellow countrymen and I.

Many thanks for the reblog. Kind regards, Kevin
Having been abroad to places popular with people age 18-30 surrounded by idiots who just want to get drunk and have things get ‘messy’, I can’t blame to be honest!
Thanks for your comment. I understand your point about the terrible behaviour of a minority of English people abroad. However the vast majority of the English do not behave in the manner portrayed by the academic, (if his book is correctly suportrayed by The Telegraph the picture painted is not accurate, it is a stereotypical portrait). Every country has its good and bad aspects (for examplethere is a great deal of support for racist parties such as the National Front in France) but people should not conclude from that that the majority of the French are racists, they are not.
Of course.
