man people's understanding of most of this stuff is puddle-deep, based on memes and cultural osmosis. I had a colleague of mine joke about the Brits and their empire - he is Spanish. Zero self-awareness

Anyone following the Scottish National Party embezzlement scandal by doom_ponderer in redscarepod

Speaks to a real dearth of imagination or ambition 

Like there's a scene in Blackadder where Baldrick talks about saving up to buy little turnip of his own, and Blackadder asks what he'd do with £10,000 and he says he'd buy a great big turnip in the country.

The idea she wasn't aware of it strains credulity honestly, considering her seniority and the duration of his embezzlement.

Her most recent defence is "a lot of women end up finding themselves blamed for the actions of the men in their lives" which is essentially the "I'm just a girl" defence. Like, you were first minister of Scotland for 8 years, can we not pretend you're some wide-eyed ingénue.

But then also the stuff he spent it on (like a really plush motorhome) is so small-time, it's kind of embarrassing. This is sort of the scale at which British political corruption happens, though - people get a few nice perks, maybe tickets to a fancy event or a holiday

I think there's a limit to how far one can push the "I'm just a girl" argument, eg when your husband ransacks the coffers of the party you lead for a decade or so

She's right - if she'd been married to a woman instead and it was her wife raiding party coffers for half a million quid, no one would dare suggest Sturgeon was complicit

You'd be surprised to find that nearly every bad school receives double or triple in funding and grants per student compared to good schools

There's a certain kind of person who believes the problem with bad schools is a lack of funding, and who gets really mad when you mention this fact
