The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has compared the language used by
Donald Trump to rally his supporters to that of ΓÇ£the fascists of the
20th centuryΓÇ¥ in an explosive intervention before the US presidentΓÇÖs
state visit to London that begins on Monday. Writing in the Observer,
Khan condemned the red-carpet treatment being afforded to Trump
who, with his wife Melania, will be a guest of the Queen during his
three-day stay, which is expected to provoke massive protests in the
capital on Tuesday.

Khan said: ΓÇ£President Donald Trump is just one of the most egregious
examples of a growing global threat. The far right is on the rise
around the world, threatening our hard-won rights and freedoms and the
values that have defined our liberal, democratic societies for more
than 70 years.

“Viktor Orbán in Hungary, Matteo Salvini in Italy, Marine Le Pen in
France and Nigel Farage here in the UK are using the same divisive
tropes of the fascists of the 20th century to garner support, but with
new sinister methods to deliver their message. And they are gaining
ground and winning power and influence in places that would have been
unthinkable just a few years ago.ΓÇ¥

Khan, who has had a feud with Trump since becoming mayor in 2016, adds:
ΓÇ£This is a man who also tried to exploit LondonersΓÇÖ fears following a
horrific terrorist attack on our city, amplified the tweets of a
British far-right racist group, denounced as fake news the robust
scientific evidence warning of the dangers of climate change, and is
now trying to interfere shamelessly in the Conservative party
leadership race by backing Boris Johnson because he believes it would
enable him to gain an ally in Number 10 for his divisive agenda.ΓÇ¥
