This is completely wrong.
Britain has always fought against the strongest European continental power at the time, in fear of being conquered like in 1066.
For example, in 1588, the British decisively defeated the Spanish Armada, who were the strongest power at the time.
In the Thirty Years War, the British stopped the Habsburgs from taking over Europe.
Afterwards, the British fought against the French, who were the latest strongest continental power, in the Seven Years' War. Then the British again fought against the French, who were led by Napoleon.
Afterwards, you have the British fighting against the Germans in WWI and WWII.
Britain also had a small scale war with Russia in 1807-1812 (see Treaty of Tilsit) and a massive conflict for Central Asia ("The great game")-as a result Russia got Turkestan (modern Uz,Kaz,Turk,Kirg and Tajikistan) and Britian-Afganistan and parts of Pakistan.
Britain had a number of wars with Holland too.
The only Europen power Britian never had conflicts with was Portugal.
