"British accents are known for their pronunciation patterns, intonation, and rhythm, which differ from American, Australian, or other English accents. A British accent generator focuses on these speech characteristics to create audio that sounds natural and familiar to UK listeners." What kind of Slop is this? British accent is different from other English accents?

I think the phrase that's missing is "British Recieved Pronunciation"

That "RP" really gets my goat, received from whom? Some snot-nosed southern twat it would seem.

Received from the person who taught it to you. Apparently it is meant to be taught/learnt. It was a way of leveling out all the regional accents for public school pupils. You too can have RP if you want it, it's not owned by the southerners!

It's more like a diagonal line really, as if the Fosse Way had been a fortification.

How do you feel about the phrase received wisdom, does that also stir you into anger at some invisible caricature?
