Weekend Americans LOUD GAWDY 'Elite' Descended & Destroyed Dignity/Peaceful Charm of Two Tiny British Villages
'Lipstick on Pigs' -Trump And Billionaire Bride Brought Motorcades, Snipers & American Circus to Rural Britain Much to Locals Dismay The Telegraph 28 JUL 2025 ![]() ![]() Golfers have to pay Trump GB 100,000 to join,,, AND have to dig deep into their pockets to pay GB 1,000 in order to play the full 18 holes, which is GB 55 per hole. The peaceful charm of the Cotswolds contrasts with Turnberrys heavily OVER-GUARDED golf resort as two very different American gatherings take over rural peaceful Britain ![]() The way it was The Secret Service might want to consider opening an outpost in Britain. There is enough of them here..... Trumps Golf Game UNRAVELS at Turnberry as He Cheats as USUAL ![]() Trump struggles playing golf so he has to cheat ![]() Trump receiving help from a caddie on the course went viral Trumps Caddy Will Put You in a Chokehold If You Criticize His Boss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKQi0tFDF6c This weekend, in villages at opposite ends of the country, each with populations usually hovering around 200, security may briefly outnumber residents. The Americans are here and just as they tend to steer clear of each other on the campaign trail. Republicans carving a crimson path through Utah while Democrats stoke the home fires in Oregon, the Left and Right will be kept apart by 400 miles and the M6. In Ayrshire, Trump has descended on Turnberry, the small village stained by his golf empire. For five days, the Firth of Clyde will become a kind of Maga encampment. An estimated 5,000 officers are expected to be on the streets, with road checkpoints, airspace restrictions reportedly in place and Secret Service sniper positions erected.... AND where, oh WHERE will Trumps Turnberry find Scots that can afford to pay his ridiculously HUGE charge of GB1000/$1500 per round of golf...which may result in him bringing in some of billionare cronies in their private jets to play Last time paranoid Trump was here, he never paid anything towards the HUGE cost of the ENORMOUS amount of officers he demanded and refused to pay for their food and drinks... ![]() Turnberry Lighthouse on the Ayrshire coastline,, Trumps arrival turns quiet Turnberry into a Maga fortress, with thousands of officers, sniper teams and protesters flooding Ayrshire. For most of the country, neither event is likely to prompt more than a collective eye roll. But for the local people whose weekends are about to be disrupted, an American invasion whether of the Leftie or Maga variety is quite another matter. ![]() ![]() The convicted FELON, who would-be KING, is also set to open a new golf course in Menie, named after his Scottish mother, Mary Anne MacLeod ![]() A kind of uprising has been trailed, with Scots determined to take to the streets to show their distaste. Meanwhile, in the Cotswolds Great Tew to be precise the noisy liberal elite have come to town, bringing with them tech heiresses and rock heiresses. Even Kamala Harris, the former vice president, is tipped to join them. Eve Jobs, the youngest daughter of the Apple founder, is marrying British equestrian Harry Charles. And where does the daughter of an American billionaire get married in 2025, particularly when shes marrying a nice boy from Hampshire..... Within striking distance of Soho Farmhouse, of course. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() AMERICANS made many changes to try to make it suitable for a 'SOCIETY' wedding, which angered the locals In the beautiful Cotswolds, people are not sympathetic. Their patience with American interlopers is running thin. On Thursday morning in Great Tew, the lane running past the Norman church and down into the village is lined with Range Rovers and big black minibuses with tinted glass. The church itself is packed with vehicles too. You could be forgiven for thinking a large film crew was in town, perhaps shooting a new Richard Curtis romantic comedy. But NO, the bride, her mother Laurene Powell Jobs, her fiance, a Californian wedding planner, various members of the wedding party, staff and a hefty American security detail have just swept inside for a rehearsal. Shes just arrived and gone into the church, says one resident, who asked not to be named. He has lived across the road from the HISTORICAL gates of St Michael and All Angels -now BOARDED up with tall screens to block out prying eyes for 30 years. It means hes been here since before Soho Farmhouse, before the upmarket Daylesford farm shop came to town, before arrogant Ellen DeGeneres began buying and selling ?22.5MIL properties. People here have long been accustomed to Londoners identifiable, apparently, by their habit of turning up in crisp white linen, hopelessly unsuited to the muddy country lanes who stroll through the village on brief excursions outside the Soho Farmhouse compound. Fast cars and American accents are now ten a penny too. But this level of fuss and security is out of the ordinary, he says. He wouldnt mind so much, but he does object to them overhauling the HISTORICAL church. Eve Jobs, youngest daughter of Steve Jobs, is set to marry British showjumper Harry Charles in the Cotswolds This week, Mail Online reported that workmen have been traipsing in ?15,000 Persian rugs, lighting rigs, leather chairs and giant polystyrene balls to be covered with flowers. YUKEEE ![]() They should have left the church as it was, he says. But they're ARROGANT Americans with NO dignified taste, and they'll do what they want to do as usual, I suppose It has been billed as the 'society' wedding of the summer. A redefining of what one constitutes 'society', you might argue, the groom is a sportsman, son of Olympic equestrian Peter Charles, who was part of the team that won Britains first team jumping gold in 60 years at London 2012, the bride is a model, with false hair and nails no doubt....and NEITHER holds a title. Still, the guest list is as glitzy as you'd expect. In fact, these days it could easily try to COPY the guest list of a minor royal wedding....or even a major one - the Duchess of Sussex had her hen do at Soho Farmhouse, lets not forget Soho Farmhouse and nearby luxury venues have become the backdrop for lavish events that some locals say have drained the Cotswolds of its authentic charm The wedding, with its reception at the exclusive Oxfordshire hotel Estelle Manor, is rumoured to be costing several million. And only a proportion of that will be Eltons bill. Yes, in true modern ROYAL wedding style, Sir Elton John is said to be performing. At Quince and Clover, the village cafe, people are bracing for a weekend of helicopters flying back and forth overhead. It does get tiresome, says Chris Tacey-Green, 30, an investment banker..It really takes away the authenticity and historal value of the Cotswolds, she adds, feeling they are all chasing Daylesford-esque perfection. But they have no respect, nor sufficient good manners to behave in the way REAL royalty would... ![]() Ah well, they are Americans after all, BUT there are many good Americans that DO value and have respect for their historical surroundings....sadly this lot DONT In a few days, the Cotswolds is set to trade one lot of Americans for another. The Vances are coming to town for their summer holiday with all their entourage, and with that, the protesters railing against Trump in Ayrshire this weekend will presumably turn their attention to Oxfordshire..... GAWD HELP us all...WHEN will it end?? - when they take over GREENLAND.... ![]() |

VP Vances Visit Sparks Outrage in Rural England -American Security Circus Hits Cotswolds AGAIN -We DONT WANT Them Here, They Bring NOISE & Disruption
JD Vance has stirred frustration during a visit to the peaceful English countryside, with locals in the Cotswolds decrying what they call an over the top HUGE American security circus MOTORCADE, which blocks the locals access to their homes in small country roads PLUS Signs JD Vance And Wife are Miserable, Loathe Each Other And Are Always Squabbling MSRAW 12 AUG 2025 ![]() Vice President J.D. Vances marriage appears to be falling apart behind the scenes and the two barely seem to be capable of hiding how much they loathe each other at this point. The tension between the vice president and Usha Vance has already gotten to the point that comedians are making fun of it. But those jokes are coming from a real place... In particular, she showed no interest in her role as second lady, and talked on and on about how much she missed her old life her career as a high-powered attorney Six times JD Vance sparked outrage with UK comments before holidaying in Britain.. Vances Cotswolds getaway disturbs rural idyll with their MESS & NOISE... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He has visited the Cotswolds and been slammed by local residents who found themselves trapped due to extreme security measures and HUGE unnecessary MOTORCADE Its a safe place to be for an American nutter, said Ian License, who lives just outside Chipping Norton a stones throw from where the Vance family are staying in the village of Dean when asked why he thought the VP had chosen the ambient Oxfordshire location for his summer vacation License, a retiree who has travelled to Ukraine to deliver aid to struggling families, described Vances treatment of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at their stormy White House meeting in February as appalling, and couldnt understand why an American with an America First policy would want to holiday in Blighty Dean Manor, the Grade II listed manor house where JD Vance is expected to take his UK holiday The fields around Dean Manor, where Vance will holiday until Wednesday, were cordoned off on Monday, with checkpoints manned by police and US secret service questioning all wannabe entrants... DAMN unbelievable FARCE Local residents were asked to supply their names and number plates to police in order for them to be allowed to enter and pass through. Another told the Financial Times that the Secret Service had knocked on her door to confirm personal details. ![]() Police have also set up many check points in the area that JD Vance is staying near the Cotswold village of Dean The house has been fitted with additional technology to enable the visit. A helipad has been cut in a surrounding field, while a telecoms mast has been installed in the grounds. On Saturday, ahead of Vances arrival, a series of trucks dropped cases of luggage at the property. When asked at the time by the FT, the housekeeper of the manor said she had not been informed of the vice presidents impending visit. Neale, whose bookshop has hosted several famous figures including Cameron and News UK chief executive Rebekah Brooks, said the location was ideal as it had already been subject to heavy security as a result of the former Prime Ministers residence. Police have blocked ALL routes, including footpaths, leading to the Cotswold hamlet of Dean Famous visitors are not unusual in the Cotswolds, with the area around Chipping Norton, as well as the surrounding villages of Chadlington and Charlbury, growing increasingly used to well known faces. Steve Jobs daughter, Eve, was recently married nearby, which nearly produced an awkward political crossover as Vances predecessor Kamala Harris was among the attendees. Others are more aware, and are set to make their voices heard at a planned protest against Vances presence on Tuesday. Nobody is happy about it, said Jacqueline De Gier, who moved to the area from the Netherlands several years ago. You dont make a such an insulting statement about a country which is your host, she added, referring to Vances previous comments about the UK. Vance suggested Britain was some random country that hasnt fought a war in 30 or 40 years, though denied it was a reference to the country once he began facing backlash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_9VBTxvyrA |

JD Vance BARRED From English Pub as Staff Mutinies Over Visit
JD Vance was barred from a British pub after furious staff threatened to walk out if its management told them to serve the vice president Locals Were Also Angered When He Was Allowed to Go Fishing WITHOUT a Licence- UK Foreign Minister Fined Over JD Vance Fishing Trip Licence 'Error' MSRAW 15 AUG 2025 ![]() Blocked Roads And High Security - What It Means When JD Vance Comes to Town ![]() ![]() ![]() Vances' ABSURD motorcade blocked the Cotswolds village roads ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Vance, who has been vacationing in the Cotswolds a rural part of England planned to enjoy a meal at The Bull in Charlbury a 16th century pub boasting a coveted Michelin Bib Gourmand award. Staff told management they would refuse to show up if Vances dinner reservation was accepted The mutiny was even more stinging for Vance as former Vice President Kamala Harris dined at the same venue just weeks earlier during a pre wedding celebration for Steve Jobs daughter Eve Its been the talk of the village its the most exciting thing thats happened here for a very long time, one local told The Sun newspaper about Harris's visit to the upscale establishment, where steaks cost a whopping $98. When contacted by The Daily Beast, a staff member at The Bull declined to comment on the Vance snub. Vances hostile reception extended beyond the pub walls. Local residents staged a colorful Dance Against Vance protest Tuesday, brandishing placards calling him a 'war criminal' alongside mocking memes of the vice president. The backlash intensified over reports that Vances Secret Service detail had allegedly demanded social media information from area residents, though Thames Valley Police denied these claims, stating Residents were under no obligation to answer any questions and were not asked about social media Local frustration boiled over on community forums, with one resident writing The whole charade was obscene. No respect. Another added Good riddance as Vance departed the region for Scotland Wednesday evening. Steve Akers, deputy mayor of the Cotswolds town Chipping Norton, captured the communitys sentiment We've had a curtailment of our freedoms here, just by his mere presence UK Foreign Minister faces fine after JD Vance fishing trip licence error JD Vance Travels To England And Immediately Breaks The Law https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_DWSbEBvK0 UK Foreign Minister Fined Over JD Vance Fishing Trip Licence Error https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG3UlWAK-cI |
