I assume that nobody could get on the approved candidates list if they were not legally eligible to stand for Parliament. I would like to be able to assume it anyway... I asked him on Twitter (in response to something he said to me). He didn't respond.

This thread used to contain depressingly frequent posts listing yet another MP, councillor or other party notable defecting to UKIP - but we haven't had a single report here for more than a month of any further Councillor or MP defections. Without wishing to be too open about my personal opinions, I'm beginning to wonder whether the rot has finally stopped?

I would say its simply a case that the vast majority of people who felt more at home under the purple flag had already made the move.

If it hasn't been notified here, UKIP have gained a former Cardiff Plaid councilor Mohammed Sarul Islam - who lost his Riverside seat at the last election.

(having spent the last two weekends in the North East, I'm almost at the point where I can understand the local vernacular enough to order a meal )

My mum tells a story that when her and my dad (neither are from the North East) were planning on buying a house in Durham in the mid 1970s they talked to a local builder. A new housing estate was being built and he was asking them what they wanted in the house. They said yes to every question as they couldn't understand a word he said. In the end they lived a year in a house just off Durham University campus and my mum said she wondered what the other house actually looked like.

I guess some people have the same problem with Scouse though! Though it might depend if it's north Liverpool or south Liverpool Scouse!

I got a telesales call from someone speaking in very broad Geordie recently and I had to admit that I couldn't understand what they were saying. It was rather embarrassing. Other places where I have had difficulty understanding native speakers of English are Londonderry and the Caribbean coast of Panama. I guess some people have the same problem with Scouse though! I only live 35 miles away but have great difficulty in Liverpool, usually at eateries. I place my order, and they ask "Izzyerlaikherwizat?" After 3 attempts I usually have a vague idea of what they're asking. My worst experience ever was in Blackpool { insert punchline here } when I was asked a question by a Glaswegian. Five attempts later I simply had to shake my head and walk away...........

As long as people speak clearly and slow their accent a little, I have no problem with most accents.
As for the scouse accent, when you live and work amongst scousers for months/years, you get used to it. Don't have any problems with it now, even when it's spoken quickly.
