Olympic Cash, now the Scots want it too

Hand us 」165m share of Olympic funding, SNP tells Westminster - Scotsman.com News

WESTMINSTER is facing a wave of pressure from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to give the devolved administrations a share of Olympic regeneration funds.

The SNP insists that for Scotland, this would be worth £165 million alone in Barnett "consequentials", or more than £40 million a year until the 2012 Games.

Eh? Much to my disappointment London has got the games - do you notice that, London? The Games are awarded to a city not a country, and unless I'm very much mistaken London isn't in Jockland. Or do the spongers just want a bit of every cake that is eaten anywhere in the Kingdom?
