The Conservative MP Sir Paul Beresford fails to understand what the SNP’s David Linden is asking him in parliament because of his accent. Linden, who represents Glasgow East, repeats his question twice with no success, before the Commons deputy speaker Lindsay Hoyle suggests ‘the answer might be helped if you can reply in writing’

Everyone here just commented that they understood what he saying, hello, i just dont believe at all
I'm from London, and had no difficulty understanding him the first time.
As a Greek I understood him perfectly.
he was just condescending, dismissive and wasnt interested in listening. There is always Welsh and Scottish representation in Parliament, why didnt he learn? its a deliberate flaunt of colonial power
he's just asking when US presidential elections are going to be held 😁
I'm american and i can understand him just fine.
Just a few words were hard to understand, but I perfectly grasped the rest of his speech. I wonder if the other man really didn't want to answer the question.
I'd love to hear the famed Glaswegian comedienne Janey Godley address Parliament!!
Even I understood him, and I'm not an English native speaker 🙄
I only understood that he was talking something about disability. 😅😅😅
To be honest, i didnt even try to understand, cuz it sounds like klingon to me. I would even call it a disrespect to speak so fast when your english sounds like this. The guy literaly just spit out all the vowels he had right into my face. Why should i bother trying to figure it out?
I understand him clearly
He understood just fine. What a **
As a Mexican American who’s also dealt with a lot of broken English different dialects in Mexico and just overall having a very colorful ethnic friend group I’m surprised I understand him pretty well
No, he was just being racist git.
No respect for the Scots, ay?
What did he say? I don’t understand his Aussie accent ☺️
Paul Beresford is a specky bam
I’m so sorry for that people, who’s not so open minded for another language.
Remind me “Bruce Almightly”, where nobody understand Steve Carell character!^)
Here after watching SNL skit Suel Forrester with Chris Katan
Is it true that they have a bar in the british parliament building???Are drinks given at subsidized rates!!
Well I'm Scottish, from the S.W. and didn't pick up what he said, particularly as he was talking so fast.
Ниче не понятно но очень интересно
Anyone who can't understand different accents speaking clear English are obviously a bit thick, either that or they deliberately see it as a way of trying to put the other person down.
Why is that MP speaking so fast? No public speaking should ever be done at such a speed!!! Retired teacher here!
That was not difficult, as an American. As usual politicians are not – "are no' "? – the smartest people, I guess.
It has nothing to do w his background, it has sth to do w his 'personality'…
