I understand David Linden easily enough, the Speaker seems to as well.

How ignorant of that MP.
Just Because someone doesn't fit how he thinks they should sound.
Ignorance.

Some Con MPs just have issues it seems with Scots in general.
More ignorance.

The Tayside accent is a tough one if you're not used to it, even for Scottish people.

I do find that a lot of Scottish accents are becoming a bit generic in younger people now though, most people sound "Central" and the stronger accents are fading. But then, I found the same thing when I lived in Lancashire, with the old folks having a very distinct Lancashire accent which has similar elements to Yorkshire, but the younger ones having a more generic Manchester-ish accent.

Nice old MP.
You should possibly take up comedy arista.

I've watched parliament on TV days on end and never once had a problem understanding David Linden.

Ignorant is what I'd term that MP.
The one you call nice and old that is.
