Little Englander
"Little Englander" is an epithet applied in criticisms of 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. Originally it applied to a wing of the Liberal Party opposed to expansion of the British Empire in the 19th century, who wanted 'England' to extend no farther than the borders of the United Kingdom.
==History==
The "Little England" movement originated among manufacturers in Manchester and found support among journalists such as Goldwin Smith. The movement objected to the protectionist stance of Canada exemplified by the tariff increase of 1859. The manufacturers resented paying taxes to defend a colony that took few British goods, when it could be absorbed by the United States, which was an independent country and their best customer outside Europe. Canada had some importance as a supplier of wheat and timber to Britain, but its climate meant that it could never supply Manchester's mills with cotton.
There was also a social element to the movement. The Manchester School resented the Empire for providing sinecures for the sons of the aristocracy when the same money could be used for tax breaks to industrialists at home.
The Little England stance was adopted by a wing of the Liberal Party typified by William Gladstone (1809-1898), who opposed many of Britain's military adventures in the late 19th century. It is particularly associated with opposition to the Second Boer War (1899–1902). For example, Arthur Ponsonby wrote of the Liberal leader Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman's opposition to the Boer War: 'The impression one got of him from the Press in those days was… that he was an unpatriotic Little Englander'.〔F. W. Hirst, ''In The Golden Days'' (London: Frederick Muller, 1947), p. 253.〕
