We aren't bailing out of Europe. That would be quite impossible, unless you know a removals company that can literally move our landmass to a different continent. Details of what the EU is capable of offering (assuming it still exists in two years time) will come out in due course.

Personally, I thought that 1.8 million people signed a petition to have a debate in parliament about retracting an invitation for a state visit to the President of the USA, who has declared that he's an ally of Britain and his biggest foreign policy objective is to end up with a good trade deal with the UK which is beneficial to the USA as they stand to gain a lions share of the EU's share of trade with the UK (worth ~$200 billion annually?) if the EU decides to commit suicide by giving us a bad exit deal.

What sort of twit thought that the government would or should ever retract such an invitation? If we can welcome heads of state to the UK who consider machine gunning protesters is just fine, then i'm sure that we can deal with somebody who exercises their freedom of speech, and says things that some people don't like. That after all is what freedom of speech is about, it includes the freedom to make yourself sound like a prat.
