Mr Grumpy. "Let's cheer on 'Scolympians' instead of Team GB"

Any journo will tell you; never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.

Therefore the usual outburst of faux outrage on the part of the Mirror etc. is to be expected.

What the First Minister actually said can be found here, and includes the phrase:

“The eyes of the world are on the Olympics and the whole of Scotland is united in supporting our Olympians and Paralympians – our ‘Scolympians’ – to go for gold. Every member of TeamGB has worked exceptionally hard to get to this point and now stands on the cusp of greatness - I wish everyone taking part in London 2012 the very best of luck.”

WTF is wrong with that? I certainly don't read into it what others apparently want to.

Aye, and Cornwall with Wales more so than with England.
