Okay, then the "politico-cultural concept" and common usage of the name "Europe" is of it being one of the major continents, regardless of if it's on its own tectonic plate or not. It clearly includes the British Isles.

That is an outdated and frankly Western chauvinist usage. Europe and Asia are both on the Eurasian continent.
