About 100 people turn up for ‘not welcome’ party in town of Charlbury
There was cake and music. The weather was perfect. At first glance, it could have been a joyful community gathering in a sun-dappled Cotswolds village park, but the placards gave the game away.
These pulled no punches, criticising the policies and stances championed by the US vice-president, JD Vance, who is enjoying a country break down the road.
About 100 people, mostly women, turned up for the “not welcome” party organised by the Stop Trump Coalition on the park opposite the Co-op in Charlbury.
“He’s simply not welcome here,” said therapist Sue Moon, from nearby Chipping Norton, who was carrying a placard reading: “We don’t want him. Cotswold childless cat ladies say go home”, a reference to Vance’s typically blunt put-down of Democrats.
