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