Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Common usage.

"Little Englander" is an epithet applied in criticisms of British nationalists, English nationalists, or English people who are regarded as xenophobic and/or overly nationalistic and are often accused of being "ignorant" and "boorish". It is sometimes applied to opponents of globalism, multilateralism and internationalism, such as those who are against membership in the European Union.


I would consider many are full of "hatred" of others who are not of their herd.

England.

The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries.

Your origins seems confuse and many think of England as a bastard nation.

Why Little Englanders Are Good Eggs (And Those Who Sneer At Them Are Patronising, Racist Colonialists)


Vernon Coleman


Those who want England to leave Hitler’s Bastard Lovechild (aka The European Union aka Clegg’s Pension Fund) are frequently demonised by fascist EU lovers.

The favourite insult among EU lovers is to describe all eurosceptics as `Little Englanders’. I suspect that the EU lovers are showing their ignorance. Those who use this term in a pejorative fashion clearly don't understand its origin or meaning. (But then the EU aficionados are not renowned for their understanding of history, their sense of culture or their intelligence.) The fact is that the term Little Englander dates from the Boer War and refers to people who were, at the time, opposed to the English Empire and who were anti-Imperialist. The Little Englanders wanted the English to stop taking over the world. Such folk were, at the time, regarded as unpatriotic.

Today, ignorant pro-EU fascists use the term as one of abuse. And so it seems safe to assume that all those who are not Little Englanders must, by definition, be determined that England should take over the world, colonising distant parts of the world, painting maps pink and generally proving themselves to be latter day racists.

Don't you just love those like the stans and freds of this world...

If they don't like what you say and find you too intelligent
for their liking, they'd rather you FO and go and live somewhere
else so that the uneducated immigrants from the third world can
come to the UK, as they believe that they can brainwash them
into their way of thinking and gullability in believing what the liberal lefties tell them...

Dumbo.

You must have had yours difficulties in reading or understanding the post.

Your dummy is still in the pram.

By the way, have a listen to Obama on Sky News.

which "many"?
your neighbours in your ivory tower?

Fred take the shame with your new buddy....

Even your best buddies laughing at you.

talking of corbyn, i was astounded to read the attack on sadiq khan by alan sugar
i confess i hadn't realised quite how far left sadiq khan was
prob is that zac goldsmith has been almost unseen

A bit dumb from obama to make any opinion on us being in or out of EU , when he himself would not be part of any discussion on Trade or anything else . Goes to show just an organised deceit by our own Dave .

Yes i read Alan Sugar's piece in the Times , he is right Sadiq Khan is not fit to be Mayor , i don't know why he was ever in the running ,as far as i'm concerned he shouldn't even be in politics .

"hatred" alert!

that's right Fred, you ought to cut it out.

You've just proven to me Freda , that you work on the principle of just opposing any and everything someone puts up here , therefore nullifying your input to being an awkward old codger at best .

as i said, he just likes to play silly variations on his chess games

Vicky,

Perhaps, it is due to the "beliefs" or "principles" of the "group" you run with.

When I was younger, I was helped to or taught to question or challenge "dubious beliefs" and herd responses.
