Little Englanders......Big ??????ers??

[R1Geezer]

OK we know that if you disagree with a Europhile you are known as a "Little Englander" now can we come up with a name for the corrollary? I can't think of anything catchy, Geezer reward for the best.

[jno]

historically, I would guess empire-builder or imperialist

[R1Geezer]

well jno you get the prize for being a sanctimonious tw$t, now try entering in to the spirit of this. I presume you are avoiding it because you'll be thinking of a name for yourself!

[ummmm]

Harsh....

[jno]

??? that was a serious answer. (Sorry if you were only wanting funny ones, but you didn't say so.)

[B00]

Extremely harsh!

Where was jno being sanctimonious? Plus you can't use that word, i've already used it once today. It's far too big a word to be used twice in one day.

[R1Geezer]

ok jno, hands up, I mis interpreted your answer. Apologies. I suppose I'm looking for a similar twee statement. Yours would go with say "Isolationist". I thought you where taking the pi55 out of some aspects of UK history.

[ludwig]

Actually, he was taking the pi55. jno never misses an opportunity to have a dig at the English.

[JockSporran]

English rights campaigner?

[123everton]

Anglophile?
Britishophile?
Rockford file?
Parliamentarian?

[Quizmonster]

Since you refer specifically to Europe rather than the wider world, how about Big Brussels-Sprouts?

I didn't know that "Little Englander" is now used to describe those who oppose the EU; I thought it was just a very old term for those who were anti-imperialist (although of the right, politically). To quote from Wikipedia: "Little Englander is a term dating from the time of the Second Boer War (1899�1901). The term then designated people who were against the British Empire and for "England" to extend no further than the borders of the United Kingdom."

I do know, however, that "corollary" means "an immediate consequence or easily drawn conclusion". If, as I suspect, Geezer wants a term that would serve as the antonym of "Little Englander", how about "E-Unionist"?

[TCL-MUMPING]

I assumed "Little Englanders......Big ??????ers" was a statement until I realized there were two question-marks too many...

[legendis.god]

Anti-fascist?

[R1Geezer]

Ok thanks al, I think I'll go with QM, Big Brussell Sprouts is now the official Geezer term for Europhiles!

[brionon]

Yeah-their are so many pro Europeans aren't there ? Like the Newspapers,the Tories ,the BNP. When will we hear the other side ?
