JD Vance Gets Wrench Thrown in Cotswolds Vacation by Angry Pub Staff

Vice President JD Vance’s quiet trip to the English countryside is changing into a real disturbance.

The vice president seems to be making no associates in the Cotswolds: Staff at The Bull in Charlbury reportedly told management that they might refuse to serve Vance if his household’s reservation at the sixteenth-century pub was accepted, according to The Daily Beast.

Meanwhile, other members of America’s political class have breezed through the city without grievance. Vance’s predecessor—Vice President Kamala Harris—was virtually feted when she dined at The Bull mere weeks in the past to rejoice Steve Jobs’s daughter Eve forward of her wedding ceremony.

“It’s been the talk of the village—it’s the most exciting thing that’s happened here for a very long time,” one local told The Sun at the time.

Vance, on the other hand, has been pissing his Cotswolds neighbors off since his arrival in the tranquil neighborhood. Earlier this week, police affiliated with the vice president’s Secret Service had been accused of going door-to-door to receive residents’ data.

“We have had the police knocking on every door. They wanted the names of everybody living there and details of their social media. I know several people refused,” an unidentified canine walker from the hamlet told The Observer.

Vance’s workplace and the local police have denied the declare, telling press that the only residents they interacted with had been to guarantee passage through a blockade for the vice president.

“[We] are supporting the United States during the Vice President’s visit to our area to ensure the safety of all involved,” a spokesperson for Thames Valley Police told the Daily Mail. “A restricted access area has been put in place in a small part of Dean as part of our operation. We spoke to affected residents to ensure we are able to facilitate movement within the restricted access area. Residents were under no obligation to answer any questions and were not asked about social media.”

Vance’s presence has introduced helicopters and SUVs to the quaint city. Villagers also expressed their malcontent with Vance after his expanded security element overcrowded a local grocery store, blocking a number of handicapped parking areas with his Secret Service entourage.
