I feel just posting the ingredients list is a bit misinforming as it would appear to be mostly sugar. For those who may be unaware - ingredients lists are supposed to be in order of most->least used ingredients. So 2 of the top 4 ingredients for this bread are sugar (honey and sugar) and the other 2 are the ingredients for bread...
Based on a Google search I think the brand of bread you selected was Nature's Own Honey Wheat Bread [0]. Which, per slice, is 2 grams of sugar. A good comparison might be Warbutons [1] - based on another quick Google search - as it seems to be the top selling brand of bread in the UK. I'm not sure how ingredient lists are required to be ordered in the U.K but the sugar content is nearly half - 1.2 grams of sugar per slice for the first result I got of their product.
But for a more fair comparison let's select Warbuton's Golden Wheat [2] since I feel that's the closest equivalent to Nature's Own Honey Wheat that Warbuton's has, seeing as these items are both wheat bread with honey. Warbuton's Golden Wheat contains 2 grams of sugar per slice. Equivalent to that of Nature's Own.
I assumed you were trying to single out the U.S for having sugary bread, but if I've misinterpreted the meaning of your post feel free to correct me.
TL;DR
Namebrand-popular U.K bread isn't any better than Namebrand-popular U.S bread when it comes to sugar content.
