Another British Hero!!!

Andy Murray says his US Open win "means the world" and that he is relieved to have ended Britain's long search for another male Grand Slam champion.

The last British man to win a Grand Slam title was Fred Perry, who won the US Open in 1936, 76 years ago.

Baldwin retired in 1937 and for many years afterwards, he was vilified for having presided over high unemployment in the 1930s and as one of the "Guilty Men" who had tried to appease Adolf Hitle and who had - supposedly - not rearmed sufficiently to prepare for the Second World War.

History leaps from one "nasty party" grovelling puke hound and appeaser to another!

who was in government in 1936?

It's a simple enough question, even for a wanktitted mong like you!

76 years ago, ffs, is that before the milk snatcher?

You could ask M'lud and he'll confirm that Fred Perry's success was down to the previous Labour government of Ramsay Macdonald!

As a pacifist he supported the League of nations but by 1930 he felt that the internal cohesion of the British Empire and a strong, independent British defence program might turn out to be the wisest British government policy.

and thank f**k for that!
