Imperial formations. America’s empire was the theft of the North American landmass from its indigenous people. UK, the world.

Slightly different example that I think makes the same point: look at all the Brexiteers who own property in other parts of Europe and just assumed they wouldn’t be affected. There’s definitely still a mindset of “the world belongs to us” in England.

That's not an Imperial attitude, though, that's just typical English EU think. Having holiday homes elsewhere in Europe is not uncommon for well-to-do people on the continent either.

Totally agree on the 2nd point. But I think geographic proximity & millennia-old habits of travel and exchange w/in Europe (long before empire formation) are IMHO more important factors. If anything, Brits are the most parochial people in W Europe, not the most well-travelled.
