Jeremy Clarkson has classic response after his drone got caught up in JD Vance's no-fly zone

The US vice-president has been holidaying in the Cotswolds

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson had a killer response up his sleeve after being reprimanded by JD Vance's security detail in the Cotswolds this week.

In his latest column for The Sunday Times, Clarkson, who shoots Clarkson's Farm close to where the US vice-president is currently holidaying with his wife and three kids, revealed that one of the production's drones crossed over into a no-fly zone set up by the Secret Service.

Even though that's where the Amazon Prime Video docuseries is always filmed, on that particular day its makers were at the mercy of the US visitors.

According to 65-year-old, he was approached by a security guard asking 'Is that your drone?'

Clarkson replied, 'Yes', to which the protecting officer informed him 'you aren't allowed to fly that today.'

Taking no prisoners, the former Top Gear and The Grand Tour co-host said 'f**k off' before returning to his business.

This isn't the first time Clarkson has alluded to the unwanted arrival of Vance; screenshotting the politician's jurisdiction on Google Maps to illustrate how it's affecting him personally.

"The JD Vance no-fly zone," he captioned the photo. "We are the pin. So on the downside, no drone shots today. On the upside, no annoying light aircraft."

Kaleb Cooper of Clarkson's Farm fame is another local star to be left frustrated by Vance's interruptive vacation. The farmer claimed his wheat transportation was held up by the convoy as it drove through Chipping Norton.

"My wheat got wet in the trailer last night as the convo stopped me in the rain in Chippy," he wrote in Clarkson's Instagram comment column.

"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."

Elsewhere in his newspaper column, Clarkson simultaneously came across as somewhat indifferent about Vance's stay in the Cotswolds, suggesting that it didn't really affect the rhythm of the area despite the backlash.

"We certainly knew it when Vance landed. He 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," he recalled.

"Later, this enormous convoy arrived in Chipping Norton’s petrol station to fill up. Which meant no one else could for an hour.

"It all sounds horrific. Except it wasn’t. Not really."

Apparently, they closed some of the footpaths and the village where the house was located - consisting of just 12 massive houses - was off-limits to strangers.

"Instead of complaining, we should use some of our famous humour to get our own back," he quipped. "Next time Angela Rayner goes to the States, we should insist on a 28-strong Aston Martin cavalcade and demand no-fly zones. The Five-0 can hardly refuse."
