Trump's visit to Britain

Per the Guardian:
The US ambassador to the UK has said he expects Donald Trump to go ahead with a working visit to the UK in the new year, despite a recent Twitter row with Theresa May over the terror threat posed by Muslims in the UK.
The remarks by Woody Johnson to the BBC’s Today programme represent the first official confirmation that the president is expected to visit in early 2018, when Trump may formally open the new American embassy.
A formal state visit – which would include a meeting with the Queen – is not envisaged. The Queen is likely to be preoccupied with preparations for a Commonwealth summit next year.
Apparently Brenda is washing her hair that day. Such a pity.

There's been some clamour among the political left (and even some in the political center) in the UK to formally withdraw the invitation to Trump for a State Visit...
But it seems to me, (and apparently the current British government agrees) that course carries with it some potential negative country-to-country implications that go beyond Trump...
What is in fact happening is probably the best way to handle this...
The invitation for the State Visit is not formally withdrawn; it just never happens....

Most of us don’t want him!
When is the big move? Soon, yes?

That's the Palace-speak equivalent of when a girl asked out on a date replies, "I think I'm washing my hair every night that week."
