To go all pop-psychology on you, I think a lot of the problem with the UK attitude towards Europe is the arrogance of the unbeaten. We haven't lost a war in too long, and are fixated in our national self view as plucky Britain standing alone against the world, bloody but unbowed. We haven't really lost a home game in almost 1000 years.
If you look at all the other major European powers, there is still a reasonably recent memory of defeat, and a much stronger desire to work together to avoid anything similar.
