JD Vance ‘unaware’ of claim police asked Cotswolds residents for social media details
JD Vance denies social media request report
- Locals near the Hamlet of Dean, near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, have complained about police inquiries into their personal details and social media accounts during U.S. Vice President JD Vance's holiday.
- JD Vance's team denied any knowledge of police efforts to collect residents' social media information, stating they were unaware.
- Thames Valley Police denied instructing officers to ask for social media details, clarifying that conversations were voluntary and for facilitating movement during temporary road restrictions.
- Residents described significant security measures, including roadblocks and police door knocks, which disrupted the usual calm of the Cotswolds village.
- Vance has since travelled to Scotland for the second part of his holiday, where he was met by pro-Palestine protesters, following similar anti-Vance demonstrations in the Cotswolds.
