Donald Trump Supporters Disrupt Sadiq Khan Speech At Fabian Society Conference<\/b>
\nDonald Trump supporters have disrupted a speech by Sadiq Khan, after the London Mayor said the president wasn\u2019t welcome in London.<\/p>\n

Trump said he was cancelling a visit because he did not want to open the new US embassy but Khan said it because the president feared mass protests and had \u201cgot the message\u201d.<\/p>\n

As he was due to give a speech to the Fabian Society Conference in London about gender equality on Saturday morning, a group of protestors suddenly began disrupting the event.<\/p>\n

Khan had just stood to speak when the group stood and heckled him, one holding up a US flag.<\/p>\n

One member read from a statement, saying it was \u201cpeaceful, non-violent protest\u201d but he was drowned out by calls<\/a> from the moderator to leave and the audience<\/p>\n

They shouted they wanted the mayor to be arrested.<\/p>\n

The mayor sat as the moderator stood and tried negotiate with them to stop.<\/p>\n

\nDrama at the #fab18 conference. Protesters arrive, deservedly booed, refuse to leave, and now some top lads have got their EU flags out to stage a counter-protest. Sadiq Khan and the rest looking a bit annoyed, which is understandable pic.twitter.com\/1h1aErJwJg<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe police were called and the demonstrators were removed to cheers and applause from the audience, having disrupted the event for around 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Having sat flicking through a newspaper, Khan then got back up to speak, calling the hecklers \u201cvery stable geniuses\u201d.<\/p>\n

The group told ITV News\u2019 Paul Brand that they were called \u201cWhite Pendadragon\u201d and thought the Fabians were \u201csubverting society\u201d.<\/p>\n

They denied being far right or racist, despite suggesting to Brand that Khan\u2019s religion meant he could not be mayor.<\/p>\n

\nThey claim they are not a racist group, nor far right. But they told us Sadiq Khan has no right to be Mayor of London, referencing his religion.
\nAfter his speech, in which he warned the rise of populism threatened gender equality, Khan gave an interview for Left Foot Forward, in which he said it was for Trump to decide whether he wanted to visit.<\/p>\n

Khan added: \u201cThe US has got a special relationship [with Britain]. Many of us love America…<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important our prime minister works with the president but what I am not in favour of the invitation of a state visit being made so soon where the red carpet is rolled out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump had called the new US embassy \u201coff location\u201d. Khan said: \u201cAs a south Londoner, I take his comments about Nine Elms very personally.\u201d<\/p>\n

I interviewed @SadiqKhan after far-right protesters tried to take over his speech, on populism and Trump – full interview here: t.co\/FgroIfSk5C#Fab18<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe latest excahnge follows a long war of words between Khan and Trump, who has repeatedly tweeted to attack the London Mayor.<\/p>\n

Johnson attacked Khan over Trump\u2019s cancelled visit, saying he was a\u00a0\u201cpuffed up pompous popinjay\u201d.<\/p>\n

Johnson suggested in a tweet that Trump had been scared off by Khan and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.<\/p>\n

Downing Street later clarified the foreign secretary was speaking in his capacity as a minister.
