Jeremy Clarkson Joins Backlash as English Town Protests JD Vance's Cotswolds Holiday
JD Vance's VIP visit to the Cotswolds imposed a no-fly zone halting Clarkson's Farm drone filming and sparked protests over his political views and local disruptions, residents said.
- US Vice President JD Vance arrived last week in the Cotswolds, where he is spending summer holidays at Dean Manor near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
- Vance's visit triggered a mini-lockdown with heavy police presence, roadblocks, and a no-fly zone around the nearby 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm.
- The lockdown has disrupted filming for Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Prime series at Diddly Squat Farm and affected local resident Kaleb Cooper, whose wheat got wet while stopped by Vance's convoy.
- Clarkson shared a photo of the 'JD Vance no fly zone' and noted that this restriction meant they would be unable to capture aerial drone footage during production.
- The visit caused significant disruption in usually quiet villages, with residents reporting security checks, blocked paths, and local apologies from manor owners for the 'circus' around the holiday.
