Little Englanders during the late 19th and early 20th centuries were a faction of the Liberal Party who opposed further expansion of and financial support to the British Empire, and advocated complete independence for British colonies.[1][2]
Since the 2010s, especially after the 2016 Brexit referendum,[3] the term has become a popular derogatory epithet for an English chauvinist[2] who mistrusts the European Union, international cooperation, and foreigners in general.[4] "Gammon" has been used similarly in British political culture since 2012.[5]
