The SNP white paper worked on the presumption that oil prices would rise and maintain at $100/barrel, and they still spent the money several times while also putting it in a sovereign wealth fund. Not to mention that the rUK could at the time have vetoed Scotland's EU membership - it would have been horrific optics, but we're talking about Tories here so it can't be ruled out. More likely Cameron would have used it to wring a few concessions out of the EU, but that's moot because he was still going to lose the Brexit referendum.

Voting No in 2014 can only be considered stupid if you knew then that Brexit was going to happen. I don't think at that point Cameron had even formally promised to hold an EU referendum, and even if he had you'd also have to assume that he would win an absolute majority in 2015 (which even he didn't expect).

My secondary school had a set of "temporary huts" which had been there since the 60s. They were still there when I left in 2001 but I think they ultimately got rid of them a few years later.

The Portakabin classroom at Inverurie Academy was installed in November 2000 and was still in use when construction began on the new Academy in 2018. You do not, under any circumstances, need to "hand it to" the cunts who are responsible for terrorism in the Middle East.

Sort of, it's actually more silly than that.

Originally there was the river Granta, and the town was named after it.
Then the town's name shifted over time, becoming Cambridge, so they renamed the river to match.

Other than him being dead which I imagine he would have preferred to avoid, it's hard to think of anybody in recent history who has achieved their life goals better than bin laden tbh.

Nigel Farage has achieved his life goals even better than he could have dreamed. Probably killed more people in the process than bin Laden, too.

(Farage's real goal was always the grift, of course. But I'd far rather history saw him as evil, destructive and anti-British than as just a stupid conman who put himself out of a job.)

The thin blue line had an episode in which the police undergo racism awareness training, none of them give a poo poo, and then they immediately arrest the first innocent black dude they see. Which I think makes it the most realistic police show the BBC have done.

The Cops did a decent job of showing police as badly flawed people, many of whom had a thick streak of racism.

I cook from British cookbooks occasionally, and I always wonder what a Gas Mark is, and why gas ovens don't just go by temperatures.

Gas Mark was a way to simplify the dials to set the regulator rather than the temperature, in the days before ovens had proper thermostats to control the temperature precisely. Gas Mark 1 is 275 degrees Fahrenheit, every step in either direction is 25 degrees.

Incidentally, Gas Mark is the reason why most supermarket ready meals are oven cooked at a temperature of 190 degrees Celsius - 190 deg C is Gas Mark 5.

Mostly they get relegated to the Conference.

Since we're running a football analogy, I do like the thought of rebranding the House of Lords as the Westminster Premier League and you only get promoted to it if you win enough elections. The Commons can stay as it is, though - it already has enough divisions.

So the new episode of Podcasting is Praxis dropped, and they have new artwork for the show.

And the artwork shows Great Britain with the Hammer and Sickle over it.
But as far as I can see it doesn't show Northern Ireland on the image.
So the podcast image seems to be showing Great Britain as opposed to showing the United Kingdom.

Yes. Seems appropriate.
