The Stop Trump Coalition announced plans to protest Donald Trump's upcoming visits to the UK, with demonstrations scheduled in Aberdeen and Edinburgh this month, followed by London and Windsor in September. A spokesperson emphasized that JD Vance is equally unwelcome in the UK. They referenced Vance's reaction to protesters in Vermont, expressing confidence that he will encounter resistance during his visit.
JD Vance's plans to vacation in the Cotswolds with his family have sparked outrage among activists. The US vice-president intends to bring his wife and children to Britain in August, with stops in London before renting a cottage in the Cotswolds. He is then expected to travel to Scotland, where protests are planned in response to Trump's visit. While the itinerary is not finalized, Vance is reportedly involved in selecting the Cotswolds cottage.
Vance's actions have not endeared him to the British public. He was criticized for comments perceived as disrespectful to British forces. Despite this, UK officials view the visits of both Trump and Vance as a sign of strong US-UK relations. A Whitehall source noted the enduring appeal of the UK to the current administration, regardless of policy differences. The visits follow the announcement of a US-UK trade deal.

I hope these protests are loud and clear. The people have a right to voice their opposition!

Better things to do in the UK than worrying about who’s visiting from the US.

It's important to stand up against their actions and show solidarity with the communities affected by their policies.

Seems like childish antics. We’re much better than this as a nation.
