I would like to judge him, but the link doesn't work. As I understand the comment of the newspaper the video has been removed. Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The video works fine here - did you remove the space in the link?

WARNING: There is a virus on the website with the Dutch video of Nick Clegg. My anti-virus-software has detected such a virus and I chose "deny access" to the site.
Yes, I hadn't removed the space, buy I wouldn't recommend anyone to visit such a website with a virus on it. Maybe not everyone here has such a good anti-virus-software as I have, so this can be harmful. Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 03 May 2010 at 9:57pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That sounds very strange, especially considering The Telegraph being a reputable national
newspaper in the UK. I would assume the virus alert came from one of their automated advertisements on the site. In any case, I have a very good anti-virus and it doesn't detect anything there (and my laptop isn't toast yet). I wouldn't deter anyone from visiting the site (unless you don't have an anti-virus, but if you don't you frankly shouldn't be on the internet at all). - Henrik 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

What I did, is that I filled in the link to Nick Clegg's video in my address line and I pressed on the Enter-button - then my antivirus-program (Anti-Vir with daily updates) reported the detection. So I hadn't clicked on anything on the site. I would find it unfair not to give a warning to others in such a case.

Whilst I think we all appreciate a heads up on their being a potential virus on this
site. I have just used the site myself and have had no problem at all. Perhaps fasulye has restrictive settings for her antivirus that are causing her problems. Indeed, as expressed above, the telegraph is a reputable national paper and I believe any such problems would have led to the video being removed quickly. Anyway, back to Clegg, I don't speak dutch so can't vouch for Clegg's fluency but based on the speed of his speech and his apparent ease with the language he does seem to have a good command of the language. I have found a video from youtube that contains a short segment of the same interview contained in the telegrpah video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7O-sLNx0oM 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Magictom, thanks for posting this alternative video featuring Nick Clegg! The Dutch interview is very short because it's cut off, but the several words he says sound natural. I cannot hear a foreign accent there.

Smart, probably as a polyglot you are aware that a liberal in Europe is a different kind of animal that a liberal in the United States. Language is so rich! By the way and totally off-topic, I am not sure if the second "that" of my message should not be a "than". Glups! Back to the basics I go... 1 person has voted this message useful |
