Pathetic and predictable response from Salmond

Cathy Jamieson today condemned the "pathetic and predictable "response from the SNP to team GB's success at the Beijing Olympics.

She said:
"Most Scots are rightly proud of what was achieved and the contribution made by Scots athletes.

"It's pathetic and predictable that the immediate response from the SNP is to call for the break up of that successful team.

"Alex Salmond knows that a separate Olympics team would require independence and he just
trying to further an unpopular policy on the back of the success of team GB.

"The vast majority of Scots support Team GB.

"Even triple gold medal winner Chris Hoy says he is opposed to the idea of a separate Scottish Olympics team."

She also condemned Alex Salmond's approach to the question of an Olympics football team.

"I want to see a GB football team at the London Olympics but I don't want to prejudice the Scottish football team.

"It would be sad if Scots were not able to participate in this fabulous event.

"The sensible thing to do is to sit down and negotiate guarantees and safeguards.

"Why does Alex Salmond always try to have a constitutional argument?

"He would start a fight in an empty room if he thought it would help to break up Scotland's place in the UK."
