‘Arrest him’: Pro-Trump protesters storm London Mayor’s speech (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

Pro-Trump protesters stormed a speech being made by Sadiq Khan, shouting pro-Brexit slogans and calling for the London Mayor’s arrest. The disruption led to the temporary suspension of the speech.

Khan had just begun his address at a conference for the Fabian Society, a socialist group, in London when demonstrators in the audience started calling for his arrest. Some of the group held US flags and anti-EU banners as their supporters clapped and heckled the Labour mayor.

The demonstration follows US President Donald Trump’s cancellation of a planned visit to the UK capital next month. Khan, a vocal critic of the the US president, responded to news of the cancellation by saying Trump “had got the message” that Londoners were opposed to his policies.

Video footage of the incident shows the chairperson for the conference asking the demonstrators to go outside and talk to the press. The protesters were later escorted from the venue by police.

Khan resumed his speech on equality about 20 minutes after the disruption started.

A spokeswoman for the Fabian Society told The Express that the speech had been marred by "far-right" protesters.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed to RT.com that protesters were removed from the building but said no arrests were made.

Comment by DTOM on January 13, 2018 at 10:20pm: The Fabian Society - the Wolves In Sheep's Clothing - has been key in the implementation of the New World Order.

Founded in England in 1884, by those of the champagne socialist / self professed intelligentsia their gradualist goal has always been - yet another arm of the creature that forces us towards - a single, global socialist state.

“Stealth, intrigue, subversion, and the deception of never calling socialism by its right name” – George Bernard Shaw

The Fabian Society founded the London School of Economics and Political Science in 1895.

Early members included George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Annie Besant, Graham Wallas, Charles Marson, Sydney Olivier, Oliver Lodge, Ramsay MacDonald and Emmeline Pankhurst.

The author, Herbert George Wells, known for his science fiction works went on to pen his book entitled - The New World Order - http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks04/0400671h.html

In the early 1900s Fabian Society members advocated the ideal of a scientifically planned society and supported eugenics by way of sterilization. - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/feb/17/eugenics-skel...

Eric ArthurBlair, better known as George Orwell was a member for a time, as was Aldous Huxley.

Is it mere coincidence that both penned dystopian novels - '1984' and 'Brave New World' - predicting totalitarian regimes having control over every aspect of human life?

Both of which, have shown uncanny foresight into or warning of the future we now find ourselves in.

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were members of the Fabians - just a coincidence that Blair emerged from nowhere to the Labour leadership in 1994, following the 'convenient' death of then Labour party leader, John Smith.

The original coat of arms of the Fabian Society was Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.

Its other well known logo was the tortoise accompanied by the legend “When I strike, I strike hard”.

The stained glass window of the Fabian Society carries the logo: "Remould it [the World] nearer to the heart's desire,"
