HAD I at any time been contemplating voting to remain in the EU – which I have not – the recent visit by President Obama and his uncalled for comments would have sent me scuttling as quickly as possible into the arms of the Brexit campaigners.

I would suggest that the President returns to the USA forthwith and takes a careful look at his own country and at the two people who seem most likely to contest the upcoming Presidential election before telling us what we should do.

Hopefully his intervention will be massively counterproductive.
