J D Vance in The Cotswolds

Well, he's frightened of something if he needs 18 cars and all those security people

Maybe he’s smuggled Harry and Meghan in the boot or should that be trunk?

Or he’s worried that Vlodymyr Zelenskyy has taken up the King’s kind offer of a summer break at Highgrove!

He is perhaps not as charming as we'd like, however Mr. Vance is not an enemy of the British state.

Perhaps he thinks some villagers might throw eggs at him if they can't get home in time for tea.

I assume the King will, take precedence if he decides to go to Highgrove for a few days.

I've never heard of villages around Highgrove going into lockdown if His Maj is home!

The King is at Balmoral until September. Highgrove won't be affected!

On some threads I have a bet with myself as to how soon Hitler will be mentioned but tbh I didn’t see that coming on this particular thread.🤔

USA is our ally not our enemy.

What on earth has Hitler got to do with this thread, or is it just barrel scraping?

For some reason, I think Vance is okay…. It’s great that he is interested in this country and wants to holiday here. He will soon be back home.

Herr Hitler too intended to preserve the beauties of England for his own and his people's enjoyment after the war.

Why 18 cars? They will be monster gas guzzlers too, polluting the beautiful Cotswolds.

They’ll be full of men in black talking up their jacket sleeves.

That doesn’t bother me Caleo😄 it’s the thought of road closures when we aren’t familiar with the area.

Is it just this week? We will be there, or very near next week visiting friends.😲

Bottom Line from ChatGPT
The village wasn't legally under lockdown—what occurred was a high-security operational cordon, not a statutory closure or criminal offence.

While disruptive and unpopular locally, these security actions are lawfully permitted in cases involving high-level foreign dignitaries.

No public order criminal offense was committed by authorities—instead, this falls within the remit of protective policing and diplomatic protocol.

Gosh!

😄😄😄 I didn’t mean if Vance went to Highgrove😄😄. I meant if the King decided to go and do a bit if gardening

It it a public order offence to force a village into lockdown?

Gosh!

I assume the King will, take precedence if he decides to go to Highgrove for a few days.
