I assume by "British accent" you mean English accent. The Scots and Welsh are also British, but they speak with Scottish and Welsh accents (actually, what the Welsh have is a "lilt"). But for some reason the English speak with a "British" accent.

I haven't heard or read "English accent" in I don't know how long. English identity has been completely subsumed into Britishness in a way the others have not.

My apologies if I have misunderstood you.

Yes, I hear you about that. Many traditional English people complain of it in the UK press.
