JD Vance's secret service has been knocking on doors in the Cotswolds and asking people for the names of everybody living in the house and details of their social media.

Several people refused.

JD Vance’s holiday brings ‘circus’ of road closures and police patrols to sleepy Cotswolds village
Residents in the vicinity of the 6-acre site have described road blocks coming into place as the US vice president spends time in their village

...residents in the vicinity of the 6-acre site have described roadblocks and police door knocks in recent days, as security in the area reaches high alert.

Another local told the paper police had been going door-to-door asking for personal details of residents and social media accounts.

He said: “I know several people refused. We asked them if they were protecting us, or Vance. At least they were honest and said it is for him and that it will all be passed on to the American security people.”

1. That's some sick sh7t

I'm mad and embarrassed about the nasty, nazi leadership in our country. That's a stunningly stupid thing to do and the Brits should pretty much howl at this. Horrible diplomacy.

2. Are they checking out Cotswold Couches?

Vance, the epitome of the ugly American. Another Republican burning through tax payer money.

4. I can just imagine how well that will go over...

when he visits Scotland next and stays in a $28,000/week estate there. Can't wait to hear the derogatory nicknames they give him.

5. First thing I did was look at the url to see if this was the Onion.

Sadly, it wasn't

Some actual signs and comments from the locals:

We don't want that kind of person in our village. It's deeply unsettling.
Vance go home
20 vehicle motorcade
It's like a mini police state
It's just not normal. It's totally abnormal
Sod off

6. "Trump's number two" is a cosmically poetic, and most apropos phrase.

Thanks for the thread bigtree

7. I wish he'd stop inflicting himself on sane people in other countries with his privileged expectations.

Note to Rest of the World: Stop hosting this buffoon! He’s not worth it!

8. I think he & family are vacationing in Hawaii next week.

Ugly American living large on our dime, just waiting for Trump to croak.

9. Obviously his job description means nothing but vacatons.

Which also means spreading ill will towards the USA.
