The political fallout if anything happened to Vance in this country would be enormous so protection is a must. Whether you like him or not (and I don't) he is entitled to a holiday and with the world in the state it is at the moment, we don't want to cause offence to the USA.

Agreed. There’s been no need for it to be publicised, or for him to pass comment about the UK though.

It's called "free speech" and I should imagine it would almost be impossible to be able to avoid the publicity so he might as well control it.

Hmm. Our opinions differ. I don’t like people who capitalise on their positions in the way he has done.

It means he has a very high opinion of himself Allira, he thinks he’s as wonderful as chocolate.

Sorry, what does that mean?😀

I like chocolate!!

He thinks he’s chocolate.

More like toast?

He thinks he’s chocolate.

Not much privacy? 18 cars ?

On a private visit? It’s a mark of the man, he has had a manners bypass.

Why not pass comment about the UK? We should welcome honest and constructive discussion or even criticism.

The reason that Hitler is mentioned is that he also thought like Trump that he had the right to decide to take over soveriegn countries like Greenland ( I was actually there when the arrogant moron made this annoucement) When they copy Hitlers ideas and think they can actually do these things of course we are reminded of who else has behaved in an arrogant and offensive manner. Vance obviously thinks that people here are as trigger happy as those in the states, but at least no one in our government suggested that a mob should invade the lawful government seat, just because they did not like what was said!!

Perhaps he wears sunglasses in the rain because Mrs V or someone has given him a black eye.

I thought it was the security people who were wearing sunglasses.

Of course, it has been very sunny (until today) so many people are wearing them.

I think it's lovely that he wants to see Britain,he is our friend.Hes only here for a short time for heavens sake.

In what world is he 'our friend'? As someone else said, he's an obnoxious bully.

Who’s Jane Godley and what was the sign?

Google Janey Godley Trump sign and all will be revealed. Hope you're not easily offended!

I just can’t raise any enthusiasm about this visit at all. If he wanted to holiday in the UK, fine, but have some dignity man, and keep it private.

Don't follow your logic David49, why would bestgranmmaever prefer Putin, just because she queries Trump's friendship with the UK?
The UK has had a 'good deal' on tarrifs, because Trump is looking forward to his afternoon tea with His Majesty.

Whether or not we like the current POTUS or VP is irrelevant.

What is relevant is that their country has voted them into office and that’s where we are, they are big players on the world stage and to ignore them would be rather childish and detrimental to the U.K.

He's staying at Carnell -

To be honest Kilmarnock and the rest of Ayrshire need all the potential tourism publicity it can get. It is not the Cotswolds.

Someone commented that he isn't an enemy of the British people. Are you sure?

You would obviously prefer Putin as a friend, in the circumstances I think the UK had a pretty good deal on tariffs.

Perhaps he wears sunglasses in the rain because Mrs V or someone has given him a black eye.

He’s not at turnberry. He’s on a private estate near Kilmarnock.
