Protests in Southwest England against the holiday stay of US Vice President Vance

Dozens of people protested in the Charlbury village of Charlbury in the Cotswold region against the holiday stay of US Vice President JD Vance and his family. “The people of Cotswolds are here today, to say JD Vance that he is not welcome here,” said the representative of the Stop Trump Coalition, Jake Atkinson, on Tuesday at the demonstration of the AFP news agency.

On signs of the demonstrators, sayings such as “go home”, “non-willabout party” and “piss off yourself” were read. The British police and US security forces were represented in large numbers in the small village.



Residents of the otherwise quiet community criticized the turmoil in her home village and the US vice. “It is annoying and quite a surprise,” said 53-year-old Phil Ball from the AFP. “We wanted to give him the same reception as he (Ukrainian President Wolodymyr) Selenskyj in the White House,” said 75-year-old resident Lou Johnson with reference to the scandal in Washington in February when Vance and US President Donald Trump exposed the Ukrainian head of the state in front of ongoing cameras.

Vance had started his vacation in Great Britain last week with a meeting with British Foreign Minister David Lammy. According to reports, he later wants to visit Scotland later.
