UK Villages Forced Into Lockdown as JD Vance Enjoys Extravagant Holiday

JD Vance’s extravagant family getaway in the United Kingdom, which commenced on August 8, seems to be taking an unforeseen turn. As he journeys through historic estates in England and Scotland, Vance has faced chants of “go home” from protesters, been taunted with exaggerated “bald baby” memes, and was even barred from a beloved pub due to an employee revolt.The public’s disdain is notably ironic since Vance had previously criticized the U.K. for its limitations on free speech during the Munich Security Conference this past February, remarks that were met with silence and subsequent backlash from European officials. While dining at The Bull, a cherished 16th-century pub, staff vowed to refuse work if Vance entered. Meanwhile, during his affluent stay in a manor costing $11,000 weekly, his 20-car entourage drew protests and lockdowns in local villages. The backlash highlights a stark juxtaposition between elite living and the sentiments of ordinary citizens.
