  Anglophile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Anglophile is a non-English person who is fond of English culture and England in general.
The term is also used as a slur for people (especially in New England, New York, and elsewhere along the northern East Coast of the United States) who base their modes of business or their political inclinations on a cultural sphere that is tied to its social equivalent in England.
Examples of anglophiles include: philanthropist Paul Getty, who became a British citizen; Madonna; Johnny Depp; science fiction/horror writer H.P. Lovecraft; Australian born UK citizen Germaine Greer; the modernist poet and essayist T.S. Eliot; and director/actor/screenwriter Quentin Tarantino and the writer Bill Bryson.

 The Tamil problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
It is the elitist Anglophile leaders, both capitalist and socialist, who have tried to camouflage their ulterior intention to retain English as the State language by identifying the demand to replace English with Sinhala as chauvinistic and racist.
Another reason for the subversion is the failure of the ruling Anglophile establishment to impart a knowledge of English to the Swabasha educated intelligentsia.
The guilt for this should be apportioned equally to the greed of the ruling Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim Anglophile oligarchy, of which the SLFP and the UNP are two sides of the same coin.

 The Ruling Class-Sponsored Race War and the Balkanization of America | Paul and Phillip Collins
For example: Paul Mellon (a cousin of Dickie's mother and a rabid Anglophile) was recruited in London to the OSS by his brother-in-law, David Bruce.
David Bruce (a direct descendant of the Scottish Bruce dynasty) later divorced Ailsa and married his second wife, Evangeline, an OSS secretary whose father had been a special liaison to British intelligence from the U.S. State Department.
It is reliably reported that these Anglophilic OSS circles around Scaife's father were the crucial influence on steering Dickie into intelligence-related ``philanthropy''--i.e., the private funding of joint British-U.S. intelligence projects which were commonly mis-identified as ``CIA'' projects or fronts.
