London Mayor said he will see an 'open and diverse city' that has 'chosen hope over fear' if he comes to the capital during July visit SADIQ Khan has taken another swipe at his arch enemy Donald Trump, saying Brits will be sure to exercise their "free speech" by protesting if he comes to the capital. The trip will take place on Friday the 13th - after Mr Trump stops off in Brussels for a summit of Nato leaders. But Mr Khan - who has clashed repeatedly with him on several occasions - issued a thinly vieled warning that he will face angry protesters if he comes to London. The Mayor tweeted: "If he comes to London, President Trump will experience an open and diverse city that has always chosen unity over division and hope over fear. "He will also no doubt see that Londoners hold their liberal values of freedom of speech very dear." The London Mayor has repeatedly said the US President should not get a state visit when he comes, and the pair have fallen out repeatedly online. Mr Trump attacked him after the London Bridge attacks which left eight dead, but Mr Khan said he was acting like a 12-year-old. Later on a spokesperson for Khan said that President Trump had taken the Mayor’s words out of context, but the President tweeted again, calling it a “pathetic excuse.” Mr Khan said the abuse he's got online has got even worse since he started fighting with the US President too - with one sick user telling him to "blow himself up". And after the US President re-tweeted messages from Britain First, Mr Khan slammed him for sharing "vile, hate-fuelled" tweets. He also was vocal in calling out Mr Trump's travel ban, which targeted people form mainly Muslim countries. Today it was revealed that the long-awaited trip will come in 11 weeks time, after repeated delays. But it won't be a full state visit hosted by the Queen - instead, it will involve a series of political meetings and last just one day. A spokesman for Theresa May said: "The President of the United States will visit the UK on 13 July. "He will hold bilateral talks with the Prime Minister during his visit. Further details will be set out in due course." Ex-London Mayor Boris Johnson responded with joy at the news, tweeting: "FANTASTIC news that President Trump will at last come to Britain on 13 July. Looking forward to seeing our closest ally and friend on the GREATest visit ever."

Maybe someone should organize a protest at this utterly useless, jumped up[ little asshole of a Mayor with a serious Napoleon complex. He has allowed the capital to fall into open anarchy and a murder rate that is still out of control. If he was a fraction as successful as the man he wants to disrespect with his protest then maybe he would have a reason to protest but he is doing it because he has none

Good plan! If there is one thing Trump is nothing for,it's being shy and humble. No way is he going to fight back. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
But Mr Khan - who has clashed repeatedly with him on several occasions - issued a thinly vieled warning that he will face angry protesters if he comes to London.
