In reply to Chris the Tall:
"Absolutely, but Salmond et al have in the past tried to capitalise on the successes of the likes of Hoy and Murray, when they are clearly very British affairs (raw talent honed by British funding)."
Ooh controversial statement, got any proof to back that up? Anyway tire of saying this but the referendum ain't about Alec Salmond.
And by the way the only person I know jumping on this bandwagon, and dragging sport into the political gutter, is Davis Cameron. We can only wonder why he decided to deliver his love bomb speech (i.e. empty rhetoric, cotton wool) at the Olympic cycling velodrome instead of having the guts to come up here at do it in person.
Ironic that a posh Tory should be standing in front of a load of bikes given what another posh Tory (Norman Tebbit) said about getting on your bike back in the day. Guess they never though that one through down in the London bunker.
