Friend, if I would point to EU hatred in posts on this forum, I would be busy all day. I just regard it as symptomatic of little england syndrome.

The EU isn't a country.

It is a political construct.
What you see of comments about the EU is generally disdain rather than hatred which if you must compare are akin to disdain of our own government.
Not an entire country.

The UK however is a country and you are on a part of the forum dedicated to the UK leaving the EU.
I've not seen any hatred directed to The Netherlands where you live - and nor would I expect to.
Because it is both unreasonable and unacceptable.

However your hatred of our country is showing yet again.
That is both unreasonable and unacceptable.
As such I am no "friend" of somebody with such deplorable attitudes as to describe us as "little Englanders".
That is just plain nastiness.

Bro, the cambridge (england) dictionary describes a little englander as: an*English*person*who*thinks*England*is*better*tha n all other*countries, and that*England*should only*work*together with other*countries*when there is an*advantage*for*England*in doing so.

Don't you think that fits on many a poster here?

We don't call ourselves "little englanders" though, that comes from people like you.

Don't "bro" me.

We all know what you're implications are and you've made them obvious in many posts too.
You've been caught out with your overt nastiness again.


FYI the whole point of Brexit is the polar opposite of that which you describe.
Unlike the isolationist & protectionist EU, the UK instead wanted to look outwards and have good relationships across the whole world and not just within Europe.

Like they said in the Irish Times, even in 2017:
Why Little England Brexiteers miss the point of the European Union
