I Wanna Be A Little Englander

[Bobbisox1]

Perhaps I am a little Englander with a pretty garden and a chocolate box house at the top of a leafy lane
Arhhhh,sweet

I do hope you are not a 'Little Englander' Bobbi
The Cambridge online dictionary defines "Little Englander" as "an English person who thinks England is better than all other countries, and that England should only work together with other countries when there is an advantage for England in doing so". The term has been used as a derogatory term for English nationalists and English people who are xenophobic or overly nationalistic.[

[Bobbisox1]

It’s just the name I like Barry, it conjours up my description above :0))))

[Bobbisox1]

So is there a Little Scotlander then ;0)

[youngmafbog]

Or by atheist to denigrate any other poster who doesnt agree with his odd ideology.

I know what you mean Bobbi. Just another thing hijacked by the Metropolitan elite to attack anyone proud of being British.

[Bobbisox1]

Yet it doesn’t apply to the over zealous other nations of the union, strange that ymfb :0/

[ToraToraTora]

It's just the name that the 5C give to people who do not want to be subjugated into a United States of the EUSSR.

[youngmafbog]

No Bobbi, although the Metropolitan elite in the USA have a fair few similar terms for the people who want to MAGA.

[Prudie]

I think of myself as a middle Englander but on checking that is also derogatory haha.

// England is better than all other countries, and that England should only work together with other countries when there is an advantage for England in doing so"//

Yeah - so?

[Khandro]

“This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,–This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”

– William Shakespeare.

Going by the description Barry offers, I’m a Little Englander. Happy days. :o)

[Bobbisox1]

Have you got a thatched cottage with a white picket fence and roses around the door Naomi ;0)

[naomi24]

No picket fence, Bobbi. ;o)

[barry1010]

I have always associated a picket fence with USA homes.

[Bobbisox1]

Nooo that’s being in little England with an English flag on a flagpole in the little bordered garden Barry

Davebro at 5.16 has hit the nail squarely on the head.

In the quote Dave has c&p’d, Change England to France or Germany or Japan or any other developed country and they’ll all think the same.

The fact is, “Little Englander” is a trope usually used by the left to denigrate.

I’m a little Englander and I have no shame (in fact I have pride) in saying so.

[Buenchico]

TTT runs advanced courses in being a Little Englander. Perhaps he'll give you discount for being a member of AB, Bobbi.

;-)

[david small]

I’m a. Big Englander. Though I do not possess any Union Jack shorts.

[DTCwordfan]

so why the name 'small' - or shouldn't we ask...?

Images of 25 stones, a shirt made out of a full Union Jack but only scantily covering the necessary, a 6-pack of Rattler to hand...and the worst farts possible being emitted that would make a Great Dane cringe....oh, and a cigarette drooped out of the mouth, a bit like that character in the Mrs. Bucket comedy.

[Arksided]

I’ve just noticed that some mad bat has put the Union flag up side down, some people eh!
