Loud, obnoxious, monolingual and dumb. Who does that describe?
I think both Brits and Yanks.
Are Brits just the Americans of Europe?

Is Britain even considered to be “in” Europe? That’s like saying Iceland is in Europe.
What does it mean to be part of Europe from your POV?
Iceland is in Europe.
Iceland is in Europe. Greenland’s in North America, Iceland in Europe.
In the context of the OP: yes, Great Britain is part of the socio-political, economical and cultural area referred to as “Europe”.
In a strictly topographical context: no, Great Britain is not part of the peninsula referred to as “Europe”. It is simply not in a continent, just like Honshu and Sri Lanka aren’t either.
(Relevant detail: I’m focusing on GB alone, but UK also controls Gibraltar. The later is a topographical part of Europe, as it borders the territory controlled by Spain in Iberia.)
