If you think they do it with a posh accent you've not been to England lol
I'm mainly thinking of Tony Blair making the same case for invading Iraq that George W. Bush was, just with the accent.
in US english posh is a synonym for british

That doesn't scan. Posh Spice would by association be British Spice, and everyone knows that doesn't exist
What Americans think of as a British accent is an accent that does in fact not exist. Literally no one speaks like that, it's just playing into the stereotype at this point.
But we can't make movies with genuine accents because Americans wouldn't be able to understand it.
