Being at an international Wales rugby match in Cardiff when the anthem is being sung is one of the most electrifying spectator experiences in sport. Rugby crowds do not boo each others anthems as a sign of respect ........ please don't band all British people together into one nondifferentiated mass. That's the same as saying someone from Arkansas is the same as someone from New York.

There are idiots in all walks of life and Hatton's travelling fans appear to fall into that category unfortunately. They booed the anthem because they are idiots, not because they are British.
