Скачать или смотреть US Vice President’s Cotswolds Visit Draws Protests from Local Residents

Residents of Charlbury and surrounding villages in Britain’s rural Cotswolds staged protests against the visit of US Vice President, JD Vance, who is currently on a working holiday in the region. Demonstrators were seen carrying placards and chanting messages urging Vance to “go home.”

According to local accounts, dozens gathered near the town centre on Tuesday, voicing concerns over the disruption and attention his visit has brought to the normally quiet area. “This is a peaceful community, and we don’t want it turning into a political stage,” one protester told reporters.

Vance’s office confirmed that the Vice President is in the UK for a mix of official meetings and personal time but did not comment directly on the demonstrations. The visit has sparked mixed feelings, with some residents welcoming the international spotlight, while others say it is an unwelcome intrusion.

The Cotswolds, known for its rolling hills and historic villages, has been a frequent retreat for high-profile visitors, though rarely has such a trip drawn public dissent.
