After just over three hours of pressure, Andy Murray beat top seed Novak DJokovic in straight sets in a thrilling Wimbledon final in what became a fantastic display of British wonderfulness.

The match started well for Britain as Prime Minister Cameron snubbed the Arch-separatist and 'First Minister' of Scotlandshire Alex Salmon as he walked towards his seat. This set the proper tone of British superiority from the off.

Dunblane's finest son, Andy Murray, nearly stole the first game from the acerbic Serbian, but tactically gave up three break points to lure him into a false sense of security. The Stirlingshire man repeated this gambit in the third game, drawing the foreigner further into his web.

The Scot then went on to take the first set in a gritty demonstration of gritty Brit-grit, leaving his European opponent to ponder what was going wrong.

The second set went much the same way as Briton Murray continued to pile on the pressure in front of an appreciative British crowd in Centre Court. The British champion eventually took the second set easily, giving the foreigner what for.

The third set was much tougher, with the Scot, Jock O'Vich, pulling ahead of Murray early on. However, the Englishman soon levelled the score before breaking the sweaty sock's serve for a second time.

Who do you think you are kidding Johnny Foreigner, if you think old England's done?

The final game at the All England club was a thrilling battle, with the man from the Home Counties giving away three championship points, and then saving four break points, before eventually winning the third set and the match in a breathtaking finish.

On the day, the Londoner was a deserved three-set winner.

The only jarring moment was a sickening attempt by the separatist leader to gain popularity in his country by waving some local flag, apparently known as the satire, instead of our blessed Union Jack. He appeared unable to accept that his man had been beaten fair and square.

It seems there is always someone who will try to ruin any occasion, no matter how wonderful, how imperially grand, how quintessentially English it may be. Mr Salmon, shame on you.

The Scotch should have known the heights of Wimbledon will be forever beyond their feeble reach.

Who knows, next they'll start believing they can run their own country!
