Jeremy Clarkson reveals foul-mouthed clash with JD Vance’s security during Cotswolds farm chaos

Jeremy Clarkson has revealed his Clarkson’s Farm co-star Kaleb Cooper told US Vice President JD Vance’s security to “f**k off” during the politician’s visit to the Cotswolds.
The American politician’s trip with his family last week sparked anger among locals, who complained of widespread disruption caused by his extensive security detail.
Clarkson revealed in The Sunday Times that the visit even disrupted filming for his hit Amazon Prime series, after a one–mile no-fly zone was set up around the manor house Vance was renting.
The restriction meant drones could not be used to film farming scenes.
Clarkson, 65, explained that he and farmhand Cooper, 27, both ended up in heated exchanges with security officers.
Roads were blocked off and vehicles pulled over to make way for Vance’s large convoy, and Kaleb was even ordered to stop his tractor in the pouring rain.
He wrote: “[Vance] arrived in a cavalcade of 27 massive black American SUVs and this was escorted by a shoal of British police remoras on motorcycles whose job was to shoo everyone out of the way.
“One of the people who they ordered to pull over was Kaleb Cooper, my tractor driver, but it was starting to rain and he urgently needed to get his load of wheat into the shed, so he invited his tormentor to eff off. And carried on regardless.”
Last week, Cooper voiced his frustration under Clarkson’s Instagram post about the no-fly zone, venting that his wheat was left soaked waiting for Vance’s 19-vehicle convoy to pass.
“My wheat got wet in the trailer last night as the convo(y) stopped me in the rain in Chippy,” he wrote. “I could easily have went on my way and got it in the shed without getting in the way.”
“(If) he had just drove around in a VW Polo nobody would know who he was,” he added alongside several laughing emojis.
Clarkson previously criticised Vance in his Times column after the vice president referred to the UK as “some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years” - a remark made amid ongoing tensions between Europe and the US over support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
In response at the time, Clarkson wrote, in part: “I’ve searched for the right word to describe him and I think it’s “t**t”. He also has no clue about history.
“Because far more recently than 30 or 40 years ago, as Vance claimed last week, our brave young men were being blown to pieces in some godforsaken desert to support whatever madcap scheme the American president had embarked upon that week.”
