I agree Callistemon there's a time and a place and IMO Wimbledon is neither.

I do hope the Wimbledon crowd don't wreck the tennis with shouting like that.
It's bad enough with Kyrgios and his obscenities.

Some places are appropriate for protests, others not.

I’ve just seen it - it comes to something when a cricket crowd chants something like that, politics isn’t usually on the agenda, they are well behaved.

Somehow it didn’t make the BBC news bulletins but videos are widely available online.
Can we look forward to chanting at other public events being transmitted live? Tennis anyone?
The mood of the country needs to be expressed publicly as the government is pretending not to notice and discontent is building towards a summer of action.
