This is the dramatic moment a group of Trump supporters tried to arrest Sadiq Khan while quoting the Magna Carta.

The men stormed the left-wing Fabian Society conference in London moments after the mayor took to the stage and accused him of 'subverting the English constitution'.

Mr Khan's speech had to be suspended for several minutes as the demonstrators from a group called the White Pendragons were escorted out by police.

This is the dramatic moment a group of Trump supporters tried to arrest Sadiq Khan while quoting the Magna Carta.

The men stormed the left-wing Fabian Society conference in London moments after the mayor took to the stage and accused him of 'subverting the English constitution'.

Mr Khan's speech had to be suspended for several minutes as the demonstrators from a group called the White Pendragons were escorted out by police.

The chaos appeared to have been sparked by Mr Khan's comments about the US President's decision to cancel his UK visit.

Mr Trump claimed he pulled out of opening the new American embassy in London because he disagreed with the decision to sell off the old building for 'peanuts'.

But Mr Khan said it was clear that Mr Trump had 'got the message that many Londoners' did not want him here.

As the London Mayor started to speak at today's event, the protesters stood up and shouted that they were making a 'citizens' arrest'.

The men - who got into the event by buying tickets - also vowed to take the panel's chair Kate Green MP into custody as well as Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union Sir Keir Starmer and general secretary Andrew Harrop.

They then told guards that they were attempting to arrest the politicians under 'common law jurisdiction' and the Magna Carta - the 13th-century document that is often regarded as the foundation of the modern legal system.

As fellow demonstrators waved anti-EU signs and American flags, one of the group yelled: 'Ladies and gentleman, we are here today to make a peaceful, non-violent citizens arrest of those being named'

'They are Sadiq Khan, Keir Starmer, Kate Green MP and Andrew Harrop.

'We stand under common law jurisdiction. If you touch us you will be done for common assault. Do not touch us. We're not leaving. I've paid for a ticket.'

One of the protesters was English Defence League member Dave Russell, a self-described talk show host from London. He live-streamed the protest to his Facebook account racking up thousands of views.

Amid heckles and chants of 'scum', chair Kate Green MP told the audience: 'I can assure you nobody is leaving and when the police arrive you will be able to talk to them.

'Those who would like to speak to the police can do so when they arrive. Those who want to have a discussion about the future Labour government can stay in this hall.'

When Mr Khan 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'.

Mr Khan 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 and US president have clashed publicly a number of times over issues like counter terrorism and Mr Trump's proposed state visit to the UK.

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.'

I'm shocked, I say, shocked that they are white.

Never would have guessed.

You look perty white on the page doood
Only a TRUE PARTY LINE racist would bring color into this.

Calling these folks trump supporters ( like they voted for trump over there ) is like saying his opponents are MAO supporters ( which they are )...and we know he is the biggest mass murderer the world has ever seen..of his OWN people even. Especially his minions

Hitler did his minions and so did Stalin when they got into power, as did the CIA poopettes the shaw and polpot...
;)
Looks like Hitlary's minions are jail bound. Lucky for them she lost! HaHa

good luck with all that kid.

WTF would Trump supporters be doing in the UK? I thought the Brits were supposed to be smarter than that.

Then again... Blackie constantly proves otherwise.

Well, last time I checked, Trump didn't threaten Britain if they left the EU. Unlike his interfering predecessor who thought HE got to decide Britain's future apparently.

What the hell is THAT?

It's hockey.

p.s We have both a Keswick and a Bolton somewhat close to each other north of here and the inhabitants are the butt of jokes about rural bumpkins.

The people of Keswick are country bumpkins. Us Boltonians aren't, though. We're a part of Greater Manchester - population 3 million.
