What a pig. That's gross.

@jertown.bsky.social lol the music

He is pissing on another territory because he can. He is an uncultured beta.

F right off, and take Jenrick with him.

is this genuine?

Do they all have “papers”???

Pathetic. Small dick sofa fcker.

😂😂😂 Labeled by moderation as impolite. Fck yes!!!

So glad I wasn't anywhere near that, not sure I could be responsible for my anger response.

The self importance is overwhelming.

I wonder if his best mate Lammy was in one of the cars 🤢 🤮

Well several of those vehicles probably contained his makeup. I’m sure he brought along his own couch incase he couldn’t find one to his liking overseas.

Meanwhile, this is the Danish king with his kids.

I love this photo

I was just thinking that even Charles doesn’t have this level of f*cking security entourage. Vance is delusional; he thinks he’s royalty, when all he is is an abuse-enabling, pathetic little bullying sidekick. I’m outraged at the waste of Police time & resources.

To be fair; more people are angry with Vance than Charles or Frederik 🤣

And rightly so. He even managed to outrage a dying Pope!

I was in Copenhagen when he celebrated his 50th birthday by running a public 10k on 10 consecutive days in different parts of the country for charity. And every time I see him, I have to check it's not Michael Sheen 😂

The Dutch royals with then PM Mark Rutte (right).

That's just f##king over the top.

Utterly ridiculous, his ego

During JD Vance’s visit to the Cotswolds, locals claimed that British police requested their social media details as part of heightened security measures.

I would have refused. I am a retired librarian. Love this from Michael Moore: I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk...They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them.😁

i’m a retired librarian too 😏 when he gets to jailing and killing dems for their first amendment rights … he had no right to ask this dammit.

bsky.app/profile/thun...

Now that Epstine Island is closed, they use Britain as their new playground! Bought and paid for!!

You can keep him, sleepy English village. We don't want him back.

So I take it Vance is worried about the crime rate in the Cotswolds, and the potential he might be the victim of an unarmed carjacking.

🤮....🙄...

Straight up the wrong side of the road! No wonder USA Americans need to claim Diplomatic Immunity and escape the jurisdiction when they kill cyclists in the UK.

The more I think of this - and witnessed - this is just a show of force and power; to intimidate; to let us know who we are owned by; Colonialism;

Important Note to JD Vance The vice presidency is "not worth a bucket of warm piss" -John Nance Garner III (32nd Vice President of the United States)

LOL, our history book says he said “spit.” I figured what he actually said… rhymed.

That will be scrubbed from all history books immediately. Just forget you ever read that!

Ffs 🙄 Wish one of the larger vans could’ve got stuck under a quaint little English railway bridge 😏

JDV can p*** off. We don't want him here.

Please don’t send him back to us!

Vance is a puke.

As someone pointed out, when the King arrives somewhere there’s nothing like this.

People don't hate the King so much.

It's pathetic.

Arrest him, We arrested the last Deputy Nazi why not this one?

Looks like we've got us a cuntvoy

Total waste of money

The muppet show

Guess we know why there’s no money to provide the Duke of Sussex with security now though. 😂

More waste, fraud, and abuse coming from the government.

Agreed no new biggots thanks we are still trying to get rid of our own

The Imperial March of Darth Vader is just so spot on!!

Our tax dollars at work.

Unbelievable!

he really must have the tiniest genitals.

He’s shit who is unwelcome anywhere.

#sellhimnothing!

Why is he here? He hates everything about our country and he keeps insulting it. He can F off back to Thiel’s anal cavity with the wife and kids he despises.

See, that's too fancy wording for him to grasp. You must provide a demonstration.

Seriously?

Is it any wonder that they are megalomaniacs and psychopaths??

1. How much did that cost the local taxpayers? And 2. He just doubled the population of the village without contributing any value to it. Rather the opposite. Quality of life just went downhill with this arrival. I hope the ppl putting posters up in London do the same there!!

Where are the protesters?

Never mind the thought police interrogating local people on who lives in their house and what visitors they're expecting

What a waste

he is a bit daft

A reflection of the size of his ego.

Why does the UK put up with this shit?

Have you been following the UK recently? They are Jobe They elected as PM a guy who spent high school stuffed in a locker

😁

Not that US is crushing it either, just TBC

No shit!

And who did you elect as President???. Pot Kettle

The question of which country sucks worst is super tough Gun to head, I would have to go with the US is the worst. But not because we elected Trump. That election was stolen You guys ran a fair election, voted correctly, and still got screwed. So, sick burn In your face

We haven't done it twice though!

Ok, you got me there We do suck worst But you stupidly left the EU, changed your mind, have a government that wants back in, but are too proud to just do it That’s gotta hurt Yikes You guys suck worst *relative to expectations*

Badly, I didn't vote for it and wish it hadn't happened. At least you have a chance to rectify your mistakes (hope you do!) Let's call it a draw

lol they put up those barricades for all 8 ppl who showed up.

I COUNTED 25 DIFFERENT VEHICLES INCLUDING MOTORCYCLES,WHAT THE LIVING FUCK,WASTE AND ABUSE AMERICA

What a shit show

What a cunt!

At least he didn’t have men in black jogging alongside

Why are these eejits driving on the wrong side of the road? They are committing numerous traffic offences in addition to the offence caused by having that creep here. He constantly snipes at us and our admittedly shitty government but it is not his place to interfere in our affairs.

Notions!

When President Clinton was in Belfast 30 Chinook helicopters flew right over my head, was like a scene from Vietnam

He's trying to maintain a low profile

And the F off some more.

Its going to take some time to get rid of the whiff. He likes to say the UK doesnt have freedom of speech so I wonder what he thinks of any protestors he comes cross.

Dicks! They're driving on the wrong side of the road.

...the idiocy is labour letting him

How could they stop him?

Arresting Trump, a convicted felon, would have been celebrated back here at home.

They could refuse the number of vehicles in the entourage, they could refuse to provide police escorts. Vance is on holiday; he’s not royalty and this isn’t a state visit. We don’t want him here.

Oops it seems your passports have gone up in flames 😅

What’s he doing? Just enjoying the perks of not having to work. 🤨

Couches everywhere are trembling and holding their cushions..

At least they drove on the left. Starmer's obsequious toadyism might might well have turned the UK into a RHD country for a day.

Look again!

Sarcasm or stupidity?

À bit of both ! 🙌

Hard to make the difference nowadays

wtaf

What an utter wanker that c*nt is 😒🤮

The hillbilly invasion

Sleeping Village and Warning.

And American taxpayers are paying for all that security for his 5th vacation since Jan. 2025.

Tax dollars hard at work

The Pope-killing vice president of the United States is on vacation. AGAIN. On our tax dollars. How many vacations is this now? Nantucket, Disneyland, Ohio where he had the water level raised, skiing in Vermont, private visit to the Taj Mahal, the Cotswolds, Scotland … in 7-ish months.

Who the fuck is paying for that ridiculousness!?

Future children with cancer. Everyone who dies from not having been vaccinated. Rural hospitals dependent on Medicaid. 170,000 laid off federal workers. He doesn’t understand the millions he is stealing were destined for big important things that matter more than himself.

They dont care about human life. Especially the poor, they are a burden to them.

Americans.

On many levels. 🤷‍♂️

Can I call him a wanker if I'm not British? Feels appropriate.

Yep! I'm an Aussie and watched that video while performing the deaf language sign for "dickhead".

We should be friends 😂‼️

Your wish, etc. I just followed you. 😄

Done and done 😂❣️

OMG, I'm so glad I did. I just scrolled your feed and I haven't laughed so much in ages. Sometimes I get too serious, but I've just screenshot 2 of your posted images to send to two of my favourite people. 🥰

That brings me so much joy. Yay!!!!💙😂💙😂💙

This interaction between you made me check out your feeds, thank you both for making me smile this morning xxx

😊😊

According to my BritBox, sleepy, quaint English villages are full of murder and skulduggery. Maybe he thinks Midsomer is real?

He is travelling in the areas filmed for MM, Frost and the Morse franchise so perhaps..... though most murders in that policing area (TVP) are in the bigger towns. It is a glorious area to travel in though.

And they were on the wrong side of the road too

Driving on the wrong side of the road is how Americans kill lads on motorbikes outside their airbases in the UK.

And on the wrong side of history

Most definitely

Whose paying for all the security? Oh, the good old British taxpayer. The truck probably has his stash of make-up! What a W⚓️...

Deport.

Just a little self important

It is twice as large as Biden’s used to be passing my Rehoboth house while he was president. Simply silly.

They should ticket him for driving on the wrong side of the road.

They should ticket ALL of them!

Indeed. Or negotiate a reduced tariff:)

How many armed US personal are in that cavalcade.

Probably none. Armed support is provided by UK cops. It is illegal for US Secret Service or CIA to carry weapons in public in the UK, even within rhe vehicle.

Yeah, I understood that from days gone by but a new dynamic in 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.

The vehicles and baggage will all be covered by diplomatic convention and not searched or screened. So we will never know, (unless they have to loose off a load of rounds).

LOLOLOL. They will be doing what the hell they like.

How sickening that we as a nation allow for this level of ridiculous arrogance. This is one sorry white supremacist and family’s trip funded by taxpayers in both countries.

Can you keep him?

Hell NO

Your tax dollars hard at work...

#Backpfeifengesicht #Backpfeifengesichter Jeremy Clarkson leads Cotswolds backlash against JD Vance www.msn.com/en-gb/news/w...

We couldn't expect any less from a right wing fundamentalist Christian hypocrite. bsky.app/profile/thel...

JD Vance, the embarrassment heard around the world.

What a fucking douche canoe.

Vance is an absolute cretin.

Just think, everyone in those cars are fascists ready to kill anyone they deem sub-human.

I’m surprised an airplane isn’t flying overheard with a message saying: I’m here

That is ridiculous! What a wanker!

What a wally

Takes us much closer to climate catastrophe.

🤮

He sure is taking a lot of vacations on our dime

Bet they all have guns on them. White republicnas are soooo weak. They should not be allowed to travel to Europe at all if they can't behave like decent humans.

And most of those cars are flown in from the US!!! He must believe his own PR about how dangerous UK is!!! ("I was brave enough to travel through the UK with only a small cavalcade!")

You can fit a lot of spare eyeliner in that motorcade!

Seriously..?!

I need an American to explain why this is necessary. Even Thatcher travelled with only a few cars and a bike escort. And she was F-in' despised & and IRA target. Having seen the clowns at Trump's "assassination" attempt, doubt there's anyone in that cavalcade with any sense. Maybe the SEG riders.

Embarrassed U.S. citizen here. It’s NOT necessary.

American here. There is not a reasonable explanation.

I think it's something to do with a woefully misplaced sense of this:

it 💯 is not necessary. he’s a punk as bitch cosplaying as veep.

It's not necessary but it makes them look important and all the cops get overtime so why not?

It’s simply because Vance is a fucking pussy ass bitch. Middle fingers for the whole convoy!

If they were to kill a UK politician or royal, no one really cares. They're all replaceable. Kill our PM, we'll just get another. In the case of royals they're easiest to replace as there's a list of who's next, and that could carry on until they reach me!

We only have Nerf guns. The Cotswolds are just not a dangerous place. The most dangerous animal is a F-in' badger and they only come out at night. The most his dumbfuckery will get from the locals is a bit of tutting in the tearooms.

Ok JD, you’re really not that fucking important. 🙄

He's likely the next US president though, sadly 😞

Well, that's a cheery thought

When the King of England drives around, he needs just a couple of cars.

He heard dfs were having a summer sale, bloody YouTube putting commercials in UFO videos

Wtf that guy is ALWAYS on vacation.

Dangerous bastards don't come in boats, they come in motorcades

Fucking couch fucker… Fuck you you fucking fuck

And then some ...

Some holiday that is, fuxake!

I counted 31 vehicles including motorbikes in that clip, has the government lost the plot again?

◻️ Not much chance of doing a citizens arrest for being a general right wing arseholery, then? We here at the Armchair Generals & Know-alls [Dorking branch] are unanimous he should be arrested for publishing Hillbilly Elegy.

I hope whatever hotel he stays in burns all the couch cushions and pillows after he checks out. 🤮🤮🤮

Was he in the Black Maria?

He’s in England because we protest were ever he is in the US. Piece of caca!

Sigh 😑

Parking?

They are utterly ridiculous & obnoxious. He could have arrived quietly & carried on with his holiday. Or go somewhere else with people who are impressed by his presence. 🙄

Found a better soundtrack, probably slowed down angry dolphin noises! 😁

Lovely indeed! Great tune for announcing a lunatic monarch

That's inflation for you - I came across an Obama cavalcade in St Johns wood circa mid 00's it was a lot less than that

No wonder everyone hates us. This is a tad over the top

www.bbc.com/news/article...

When these cnuts need to arrive in fifteen different armoured cars, and can't walk about the streets, you know they are bad feckers.

You know that they are hated.

Oh yes. Dystopia is well under way.

All of those vehicles to confuse any would be attacker(s).

So don’t come if he’s that scared

Exactly. But why do they need protection? (It's 'cos they are bad cnuts that's why) Nichola and John can walk in the street with no fear of harm, except from too much hand shaking.

Who are Nichola and John? (Be kind, I'm now an Aussie)

Nichola Sturgeon and John Swinney. Current and former first ministers of Scotland.

Nicola 😉

Former and current First Ministers of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤗

Are they going to his funeral?

Not yet. Unfortunately.

Yes he can fuck right off. A friend of David « I’ll do anything to forward my career » Lammy.

Where are our famous roadworks when we need them?

It's the Cotswolds Dean, no potholes there. !

We missed a trick there

I'm sure that passing through will produce a few. Will we then send the bill for repairing them to the White House?

PLEASE DO send that bill marked for "VP DAMAGES" straight to the WH ... and insure tariff amounts are added also ~ 500% should do it 🔥

There bloody well are potholes though since the new gvt things have improved.

Looks like they've worked miracles in a certain stretch of the Cotswolds 😉 Do you reckon we could persuade Vance to come to Hastings? As a bonus we could get our seagulls to shit on his cavalcade.

I think you would find there are just as many as everywhere else. Do you think the rich twats go out and fill the pot holes in?

I know they are everywhere, unfortunately. Since Brexit there is no money for roadworks! Pity we are not still receiving the benefits of being a member state. We should #RejoinEU

If only.

We must take every opportunity to remind them. It's the Will of the People now ! #RejoinEU

Even the King does not require this much back up...🙅‍♂️

TBF though Elvis is already dead.

If America isn't a colonial power it does a fucking good impression of being one.

Jeez. What on earth is the point of all that? It should be embarrassing.

We here in the ‘states’ are truly ashamed and embarrassed over this bombastic display…

Why the hell is he even there?

Vacation (again)

It’s just JD, vacationing on the American taxpayer’s dime - AGAIN. I’m starting to wonder if his wife has some kind of side gig with Condé Nast…

The azzhole routine!

Why are they driving on the wrong side of the street?

Huh. I didn’t notice it at first but yeah, wtf?? They’re on the right! 😮

Clinton's motorcade passed my window when he picked his honorary Oxford degree.... It was about 6 cars and an ambulance.

✌🏾

What a waste of money...

Fuck him sideways with a sledgehammer.

RAISING AWARENESS of the WHITE NAZI MAGA goons who live in the USA & ENABLE the 'trumpy dumpy NAZI REGIME'

OMFG how much is THIS vacation costing us?

If he keeps tempting the fates, given how sketchy air travel is in the US is right now? Possibly priceless.

I keep hoping, along with deep vein thrombosis.

Guess he's practising being President for when the oligarch cabal finally decides to declare 47 incompetent! How many countries has he done this to so far?!

Fucking wankers are even driving on the WRONG side of the road!

I fcking hate him and his wife too.

I hate the Shady Vance et al are making the local police knock on doors demanding the occupants social media handles so the SS can "vet them". F***ing NAZIS.

wtf?!!!??

www.lbc.co.uk/article/jd-v...

Yeah, I would be like "fuck off". Wholly hell, if he doesn't feel safe where he is then go home and don't be disrupting my home. He's VP and his entitlement is off the charts. Imagine this asshole as president.

Every time I think i can't be more embarrassed...

Oh there is more 👀

The amount of over the top self importance is so disgusting and embarrassing, not to mention tax money enraging. So sick of paying for their lifestyles of the rich and entitled.

It's so over the top - for both him and Trump in Scotland. Our PM or King don't have anything like that rigmarole. And he's far less likely to be assassinated here than he is at home. I don't know why the UK authorities allow this nonsense.

Please, take him off our hands. We’d appreciate it very much.

It would even be different if it was an official visit, but this prick turns up on his holidays and costs us £000'000s and causes massive disruption, just like his boss last week.

Even an official visit would not justify that.

Agreed, it's ridiculously over the top, but at least there would be some justification. Imposing this expense and disruption on another country just because you want to go on holiday is a dick move of the highest order.

Trip organised by a Tory and bootlicked by Labour

Because they’re sucking up to Trump and fantasizing about betraying the UK to US annexation for personal gain.

Oh, so THAT's how the UK becomes Airstrip One.

The world is polarizing with the US and Russia allied against Europe. Brexit already involved Russian influence.

Since when? Oceania has ALWAYS been at war with Eurasia.

Seriously though, I’m not the only one who feels crazy watching all this and extrapolating, right? Like somebody did a Cliff’s Notes for Fascist Morons of Ninteen Eighty-Four?

Make Britain Doubleplus Great Again

👍😭👍

That’s pretty much the only way they see to keep the UK out of the EU long term against the will of the populace too.

That is bollox.

WE'RE paying for most of it!

Is he though?

I don't know why they allow him, any of them, entry into the UK.

Arrival of the hillbilly

Is the video flipped, or are they driving on the wrong side of the road?

If I drove on the wrong side of the road I would be fined and banned.

Right-hand driving? In the UK? FFS!

Waste, fraud, and abuse. All that grifting must be tiring to necessitate all these vacations.

Yep, got about as much exposure as he deserves. NO ONE CARES ASSHOLE!

Please boycott JD and his entourage. Politely ask them to leave. Do not sell them anything or if you must increase the price by 5000% as a tariff for the U.S. Do not engage. Make them a sad little island of misery

You will be pleased to know that he was refused a dinner reservation at the Bull Pub in Charlbury. Staff pulled a version of the Red Hen in Lexington and told the proprieters they would not come to work if Vance dined there. Pub recently hosted Kamala Harris at a pre-wedding dinner for Eve Jobs.

It is surprisingly easy to hurt their feelings. Please do your worst. But use very simple words. They don't understand the clever turn-of-phrase.

All local businesses should hang "Closed" signs on their doors.

He’s been to Daylesford already. And we know the moral stance the Bamfords take when it comes to politics.

That would be beautiful

Why are they driving on the wrong side of the road? Arrogant prats.

I’m American and I noticed that too. You’d think the escorts would have had a clue.

Who let these fascists into the country?

There goes the neighborhood! Homeowners, don’t let your couches go out alone at night!

Vance wouldn't have any friends if he didn't bring them along.

He must think he’s President!!! Hmmmmmm

To be fair, Trump is always golfing so, same thing really.

I hope they deport his ass to the Antartica.

The arrival of Couch Vader

What’s this ‘vacation’ costing the American tax payer (who is no longer anyone other than the middle and working class who can’t take vacations)

Ha ha ha ha! Particularly liked the vehicle with the top box - not enough space for luggage in that lot?!!

And they're driving on the wrong side of the road.

When idiot Murkkkans are obliged to drive on the same side as the rest of Britain, they tend to mow down innocent natives and then flee back to MAGAland on their hubbie's diplomatic stay-out-of-gaol ticket.

Didn’t that Murkkan drive on the wrong side of the road?

Yup. After all, why should Murkkkan citizens pay heed to pesky local laws? Driving on the left is, like, socialism!

Police are running a rolling closed road so they can drive on either side of the road - but it also helps the americans with their left hand drive armour plated, gas guzzling, polluting vehicles

I realise that, just trying to be fecetious.

Fucking he'll what a colossal waste of money

Is the car with the roof box supposed to be there?

Lock up your sofas.

He's nowt but a chubby sofa molester. Hope Lammy has Febreze and wet wipes.

Apologizes from America! This is truly disgusting and embarrassing.

Who is paying for this s***?!!! Taxpayers on both sides of the Atlantic?

Good grief. Even the King only takes a quarter of that.

The late Queen used to take the local train sometimes when she travelled to Sandringham.

I saw her on the motorway once. Three police riders up front, unmarked Range Rovers front and back of her Rolls, and three more riders behind. Not this Vance nonsense…..

@ukparliament.parliament.uk fuck off

Irredraculaeusness.

And people wonder why America is hated around the world.

Lately America is hated inside America also. Progress?

It’s a scam…. Set up by security companies to make money.

I hate them

That’s DFS delivering his collection of sofa’s ! 🛋️👀😬

As per my post earlier - DFS = Don't F*ck Sofas

Or in his case, DFS - Does F*ck Sofas ! 👍🤣

He should stay there...

Not a chance. We'll relieve him of his head first 🪓😁

😂

Ffs! But the music is spot on .. 🤔😉

🤣🤣

oh thank you, I hadn't un-muted and almost missed that!

It should be played where ever anyone in the regime shows up.

All this for a holiday??? Absolutely ridiculous. The UK has ceeded control of its streets to him.

How much is this costing the British taxpayer? (Seems we have a legal obligation to pay for the security of visiting dignitaries).

That’s a lot of taxpayer funds going to waste right there! Fuck all this noise, it’s abusive!

OMG. What a nut he is. How embarrassing.

It is weird they think the threat can’t come from the side. A long line of security is what you need.

On vacation AGAIN. Every month since January. Does he do any work? Of course, him vacationing so much gives him less opportunity to screw over the American people.

The US vice president is an almost entirely functionless position. Its only actual power is to break tied votes in the senate.

I guess they have the right guy then.

Is that security or a statement 🤔😬😬😬

What a ridiculous and ridiculously expensive and embarrassing clown show. Vance’s monthly vacation on taxpayers expense. He can piss right off

I presume there's a mobile hospital in that lot in case he gets stuck in a Cotswold couch.

Poor fragile little boys need to make a show of EVERYTHING

Hey. I've watched Midsummer Murders and seen just how quiet those sleepy English villages can be. 🤣😂🤣

Send him to Badgers Drift!!!

Are you sure? this is Molesey and the Motorcade is going towards Hampton Court Bridge… not a village.

He needs 17 vehicles to accompany him to Hampton Court?

And all driving on the wrong side of the road. Wankers.

I think you'll find he's VPOTUS. Every side of the road is the right side for him. (Including literally).

I live a few minutes from there, I’d have loved to thrown a few hand signals Ashe sped past. Did it to Charles last year..

I used to live in Kingston. Only a short walk across the bridge...

😀👍

16 of them will be transporting his ego - which is handily modular.

I made the same joke the other day! My lawyers are watching...😉

Absolutely! Hampton Court station on the left, Creek Road and the parade (with EKA, Golden Curry and Chu Chin Chow) on the right.

That’s a decent Chinese and I like the Albion and Prince of Wales pubs. The Mute Swan over the bridge is a very regular haunt 👍 Taken last week…

I used to work in the PoW during the holidays when I was a student at UEA ('79-81) and then any evening or w/e shift I could get when at Kingston Poly (as was) between 81-83 and 85-86 (was in Grenoble in intervening period). Met my now ex-wife there in 85. Shared shifts 😀

Fantastic story Bob, I did read it as Prisoner of War , I’ll admit😂. I was at Kingston Poly from 77-80!

Did you ever go to the PoW back then? Tom & Sheila Eadie ran the place for about 20 years from the late 70s. I lived in Molesey from 1970 to 2017 (on and off, but mostly on). In 1970 my parents moved to Hurst Park and we had Eddie McCreadie (Chelsea footballer & later manager) as a neighbour.

Probably not, Bob. I lived in Twickenham and Richmond until 1985. I can see Hurst Park from my window!

I was a member of Richmond & Twickenham Photographic Society back then. Met at some council owned building not far from The Orange Tree. Played rugby for Rosslyn Park against Richmond, London Welsh and London Scottish many a time, too back in the late 70s to mid 80s!

Brilliant , did you know Andy Ripley? I used to drink in the Britannia in Richmond and knew Steve Fluskey well, his Dad ran the pub. I was a regular at Athletic Ground, old Deer Park (L Welsh in their pomp) and Roehampton. Went regularly to Park until 2010 ish. Small world!

Steve Fluskey is a familiar name... winger? The 1st team players I knew were Phil Keith-Roach (the skipper & hooker), Neil Goodenough, John Scott, Neil Mantell and a few others whose names now escape me. As a prop I hung around the forwards 😉 😀😀

In 1980, as social secretary of the University of East Anglia Student's Union Rugby Club, I invited him to be guest speaker at the club's annual dinner. That was largely down to vaguely knowing him through Rosslyn Park (I played for the Roebucks - the U-21s) Andy Ripley had previously attended UEA

Waste of $$$

Maybe he has a lot of cousins on holiday with him?
