    London Mayor shrugs off protesters shouting pro-Brexit and Trump slogans

    London Mayor Sadiq Khan shrugs off protesters shouting pro-Brexit and Trump slogans as ‘stable geniuses’

    Mayor’s speech suspended after pro-Trump and pro-Brexit protesters start holding up American flags and calling for him to be arrested


    A speech by London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been disrupted by protesters shouting pro-Brexit and Pro-Donald Trump slogans.


    Mr Khan’s address to a Fabian Society conference in London had to be suspended for several minutes as a result of the incident.


    As he took to the podium to begin his speech, a number of people from a group called the White Pendragons got up from the audience and started holding up American flags. They called for the Mayor to be arrested, reportedly referencing his religion.

    One man could be heard addressing the audience with: “Ladies and gentlemen, we’re here today to make a non-violent, peaceful citizen’s arrest.”


    Audience members started to heckle and slow-clap, during which security appeared.


    Attempts to eject those responsible for the disruption were initially met with aversion from the protesters, one of whom could be heard saying: “We stand under Common Law jurisdiction.


    ”If you touch us, you’ll be done for common assault. Please stand back, do not touch us. We’re not leaving, we’ve paid for a ticket.”


    He then accused the Fabian Society of “subverting” the constitution.


    When Mr Khan, a long-term opponent of Mr Trump, resumed his speech after the protesters were escorted from the venue by police, he took a dig at the American president who recently described himself as a “very stable genius”.


    He told delegates: “It is a pleasure to be here even though we were distracted by the actions of what some would call very stable geniuses.”


    The Mayor also tried to make light of the protest with a reference to Prime Minister Theresa May’s Tory conference speech, which was interrupted by a prankster, saying: “On the plus side I wasn’t served with a P45.”


    It comes a day after the Mr Khan said the US President had “got the message” that Londoners opposed his views and policies as he cancelled a planned visit to the capital.
    Mr Khan the visit would have been hampered by “mass peaceful protests” as Mr Trump’s controversial views were the “polar opposite” of the city’s values.


    The President said he would not visit the UK to open the new US embassy in south London and described the decision to move the building from Mayfair to Vauxhall as a “bad deal”.

    sadiq khan is a fukking hypocrite, he once happily shared a platform with yasser al-siri, a convicted terrorist and colleague of hate preacher abu qatada, and sjeel shahid, a militant who helped to train the ringleader of the london bombings.

    so why his sudden distaste over trump.

    Don't be such a pompous old fart, Tax. If they'd been white and Christian militants blowing up Muslims you'd be describing them as fucking freedom fighters.

    As it is, Abu Qatada committed no offence in the UK and was acquitted a week after his trial began in Jordan such was the paucity of evidence against him, Yasser was granted asylum in the UK given the persecution he would have faced by the thuggish, despotic and utterly corrupted government in Cairo against whom he bravely fought, and the other chap was again but a committed nationalist who faced no prosecution in the UK.

    You truly are a silly old onanist. Christ, how many hundreds of innocent men, women and children have been killed by UK/US bombs and dismissed as merely collateral damage. And you speak of hypocrisy??? You stupid, dyspeptic, northern twat.

    You really are quite gullible in swallowing your reactionary Tory shite.

    How is this even news? Three or four nazi scumbags. This is not even deserving of press coverage.

    These are a funny lot. Basically illiterate blue collar slobs like Harry who read some crap on google, and suddenly decide they are Freemen and decide they follow "common law". This means they can walk up to Khan and make a citizens arrest on him. But what happens after that? Well, they would have to take them to a police station to be locked, but it is usually them who are locked up. They will say to the judge "are you on your oath" and after three times of that will try to arrest the judge, and eventually get kicked into jail. Their supporters will say this is a triumph for them and common law freemen as well.

    Pig thick racist jerk offs,. Give khan his due, at least he lets these people into his events. Senior tories only ever let paid actors and senior local tories attend their public outings because unlike khan, senior tories are the enemy within and most people know this now.

    A lot of buyers remorse in electing Khan as London Mayor mainly due to the massive rise in crime since he was elected and to a lesser extent the shocking service on some underground lines.

    SA.

    and as far as i know, trump, for all his talk, has committed no offence in the uk either.

    the mayor is a hypocrite, playing to the gallery and banking votes.

    When the London Mayor not welcoming, they are others:

    Welcome committee this Sunday in Berne (Switzerland) learning that POTUS is going to visit the Economic Forum in Switzerland



    Not clear whether the Swiss security can manage (and pay for) everything, and/or how many US helicopters and other weaponry will be allowed into the country (doubt they will be asked) ...

    Trump going to Davos to get further marching orders...

    At the same time, the bankers and company chieftains present in Switzerland will likely welcome the corporate tax cut Trump recently delivered as well as the surging stock market he likes to take credit for.
    Bloomberg



    Love their headline on that one(not the same as what the link says). What a joke.

    Davos - where politicians go on bended knee to learn what price they are selling their soul and countries for.
