The country with the highest murder rate in the EU and the second highest suicide rate in the world. Understandable, though, that the men have strong forearms and flexible wrists ideal for tennis…with the sixth fastest download speeds in the world.

But never fear, the LTA has got its priorities right. Our bunch of losers are going to be drawn from an ethnically diverse bunch of losers.

And in the Guardian, too. What a surprise. You’re paying for that.
