Well, he was over here babbling on about how free speech is being eroded in Europe and the UK. I hope this comforts him in some way.

My husband mentioned JD Vance last night and the sheer delight I derived from responding with “that couch-fucking Pope killer?” should be bottled up and sold as an anti-depressant

'Fascists are not welcome': Vance draws scathing mockery after British pub turns him away

U.S. Vice President JD Vance and members of his family are presently on vacation in The Cotswolds, a rural area of Southwestern England that

U.S. Vice President JD Vance and members of his family are presently on vacation in The Cotswolds, a rural area of Southwestern England that is roughly 95-100 miles from London. And not everyone in that part of the U.K. is happy to see him.

According to The Wall Street Journal, residents of the Cotswolds are inconvenienced by the road closures that Vance's security detail is causing — and some of them are complaining about U.S. Secret Service members knocking on their doors, asking them to verify their identities, and even questioning them about their social media posts.

Folk-rock singer Dolly Mavies refused to perform at a concert when she found out Vance was attending. And Steve Akers, deputy mayor of Chipping Norton, England, told the Journal, "We've had a curtailment of our freedoms here, just by his mere presence, in terms of where we can walk and where we can be. And the American Secret Service knocking on people's doors and asking about their Facebook profiles."

On top of that, employees of The Bull — a pub in Charlbury, Oxfordshire — didn't want Vance entering the establishment.

The New York Daily News' Brian Niemietz, in a mid-August article, reports, "Vice President JD Vance was reportedly turned away by a popular British pub after staffers threatened not to show up for work if the restaurant booked his reservation."

Anti-Vance signs, according to Niemietz, appeared on front lawns in The Cotswolds.

One of them read, "Fascists are not welcome." Another told him to "go home."

Niemietz notes, however, that when then-U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris visited Oxfordshire in July 2024, she entered The Bull "and at least one other establishment in the area without incident."

Vance's problems with The Bull are receiving some discussion on X, formerly Twitter.

Retired electronics engineer A Palsson commented, "Ever so popular, first Greenland refused to welcome him or his wife, now a British Pub refuses to serve him."

In a separate tweet, Palsson posted, "Maybe they have had enough of his ignorant lectures and rants?"

Self-described "proud Democrat" Janice Hough wrote, "There'll always be an England. (Though have to ask, with ICE raids at restaurants and federal troops in cities, how long before this happens in the US?)."

X user Menal Mehta tweeted, "Yay, labor: @LorenaSGonzalez : "#Vance had reportedly attempted to dine at The Bull in Charlbury, Oxfordshire..However, the staff reportedly staged a mutiny, telling management that they wouldn’t show up to work if the venue accepted Vance’s dinner booking."

i just want to clarify that of jd vance's two most famous acts--fucking his couch and papicide--only the latter is actually a problem. what you do with your couch in the privacy of your home is between you and your couch. this pope was a beacon of hope to many, one of the worst popes in history to kill. depending on who the next pope is, we may need to direct jd vance's attention back towards his couch and away from the papacy. for example, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, in addition to having a very fun name, is pretty progressive. don't let jd kill him!
