The most diverse accents in English can still be found at home here in the UK though, hundreds of accents in these small home islands, and I challenge any American to have a casual chat with a Glaswegian lol, I did recently and (being from the east of England) had to listen a little more intently than I normally would when he spoke at speed, and I ahead to ask him to repeat on occasion, we then had a “what if” moment that an American was present, and exasperated that I can chat unfettered with this guy but our American friend hasn’t got a clue what our Scottish friend is saying, it’s just jumbled gibberish to him lol.

Not only is this evident throughout history but public opinion and actual government policy confirms this again and again. Recently the British newspapers carried the headlines 'Nation divided over Falklands." We should be 100% behind the Falklands but sadly we aren't.
