LONDON -- Prime Minister David Cameron was heckled by a couple of students on Monday morning while he was giving a speech about the future of Britain in Europe.
Reacting to the interruption, like a teacher might respond to an unruly student, Cameron scolded the hecklers, telling them to "sit down now" rather than make fools of themselves.

The Prime Minister was speaking to the Confederation of Business Industry when the two student protesters from Vote Leave interrupted his speech chanting and holding up a banner that described the CBI as being too pro-Europe.
Speaking to Sky News, one of the the unnamed protestors, who said he got in to the conference by setting up a fake business and pretending to be a businessman, said Britain is "sending too much money to Brussels that isn't coming back."
"If we leave the EU we can take more control over our money ... we can restore the independence of the British parliament," he told the news channel.
"[It was] the most terrifying thing I've done in my life ... I was expecting the security team to take us out much more quickly."
