JD Vance's holiday ruined by furious Brits

Описание: A picturesque hamlet in the Cotswolds—Dean, near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire—has been turned upside down this week by the arrival of US Vice President JD Vance and his family. Their stay at a Grade II‑listed country manor has brought unusually heavy security to the once-tranquil rural setting, prompting locals to decry the ordeal as nothing short of a “circus.”
So, we went to holiday spot to meet locals outraged by the Vice President's visit, who were staging a protest.

Protests sprung up in nearby Charlbury, where between 50 and 100 demonstrators gathered to make their message clear: He's not welcome here.

Protesters carried placards with slogans ranging from satirical—“Cotswolds childless cat ladies say go home”—to more pointed political commentary referencing Gaza and US policies, such as “end the genocide” and “war criminal.”

A standout element of the protests was a fleet of meme‑laden posters mocking Vance's appearance—including an edited bald caricature displayed across placards and even on a mobile advertising van.

Typically celebrated for its serene, rural charm and high‑profile residents (like former PM David Cameron), the Cotswolds instead found itself the unlikely stage for political confrontation—and a suburban idyll briefly transformed into front‑row drama.
