I'd like to ask why? I can understand the Lottery funding continuing, but not the UK government funding. If the Scottish want independence, they should pay for it. Why should we be paying for Scottish athletes to compete against us? After all, if you believe Alex Salmond's figures, they'll be one of the wealthiest nations on earth, so they'll be able to afford it.

Unless there is something the Yes campaign will not admit to.
Is this perhaps relevant to the stated aim of independence whilst retaining their Britishness?
