It is from a comedy. It's a Scottish sit-com called 'Still Game', which follows a community of pensioners. It's really funny, but can be hard to understand for people outside of Scotland. Its a Scottish dialect called Glaswegian, which is generally found in Glasgow & the surrounding area.
Translation, for those that don't understand:
Member of Parliament - "It gives me great pleasure to be here today."
Ned - "No, it doesn't"
MP - "With great admiration, I've watched the community of Craiglang (setting of the comedy) grow & flourish"
Ned - "No, you haven't"
MP - "My father grew up in Craiglang, & he always had the greatest of respect for his home"
Ned - "No, he didn't"
MP - "I only wish he could be here today, to see this"
Ned - "No, you don't"
MP - "He would help by congratulating today, as we open this facility, in this open, caring, forward-thinking community"
Ned - "No, it isn't"
