The Guardian reports roughly 100 U.K. protesters gathered to demonstrate against Vice President JD Vance’s English countryside vacation in the Cotswolds.
Local residents and commuting critics converged for a “Dance against Vance” near the town of Dean, Oxfordshire, hefting chubby-faced Vance memes while Vance’s convoy of helpers, aides and security detail snarled traffic, reports the Guardian.
“He’s simply not welcome here,” said Sue Moon, a therapist from nearby Chipping Norton. “We don’t want anything to do with people like him.”

The Guardian reports many protestors were appalled by Vance’s contribution to President Donald Trump’s Oval Office confrontation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinsky, where Vance called the embattled Ukrainian leader disrespectful.
“Have you said ‘thank you’ once?” Vance demanded of Zelinsky, who’s nation is being invaded by his Russian neighbor.
U.K. resident Natasha Phillips traveled 70 miles to show her dislike for Vance, waving a sign saying, “JD Vance–the guy who bullied a war hero from the comfort of his couch.”
“The way he treated Volodymyr Zelenskyy was disgusting,” said Phillips. “The Ukrainian people are heroes. British people admire the way they are standing up to [Vladimir] Putin. I wanted to come here to show that.”

The crowd circulated and lauded images of Vance as a bloated, wild-eyed baby. These were the same images that allegedly got a Norwegian tourist kicked out of the U.S. for having on his possession.
Chris Tatton, a former councilor from the neighboring town of Charlbury, where the protest took place, agreed Vance’s treatment of Zelinsky was “disgraceful,” according to the Guardian.
Other protestors, including retired union organizer Steve Akers, said they were protesting because of U.S. contribution to the destruction of Gaza.
“That wouldn’t happen without this U.S. government,” said Akers, referring to Israel using U.S. munitions and resources to bombard and invade the Palestinian territory.
