Jeremy Clarkson has claimed he told a member of JD Vance ’s security team to “f*** off” during the US vice president’s visit to the Cotswolds.

Writing in The Times, Clarkson described how the no-fly zone prevented the use of drones typically employed for aerial shots on his farm, Diddly Squat. He recounted a brief exchange with a security guard who informed him that drone flights were prohibited that day.

Staff at The Bull, a pub in Oxfordshire, England, reportedly refused to come to work if the vice president had a reservation.
