Even putting such obvious flaws aside the title could just be "study shows that accents do what they've always done"
Not a great sample size init
This is just another study confirming what has been known for years. MLE is the multicultural expansion of cockney. Much of the accent survives, but has been modified by exposure to many cultures. Its been identified as the dominant native london accent foresomething like a decade.
Innit tho, bruv.

Let's throw another shrimp on the Barbie!
Yorkshire here. Get a train on the east coast mainline to Leeds (they're hourly) and increase your sample size to include Northern accents this improving the quality of your report from "being south of Watford".
How would travelling to Leeds help with a study of what accents are spoken in the south-east of England?
How would you react if a piece of research on the variety of accents spoken in Yorkshire included fieldwork from Wimbledon and Hemel Hempstead?
