The same LT who voted for anti Brexit SNP?

:laugh3:

the SNP stood for 2 basic principles at the last election. Independence for Scotland and remaining in the EU. They also made it clear that a vote for them did not necessarily mean a vote for independence, and it therefore follows that a vote for them also did not exclusively mean remaining in the EU. They took votes from both sectors of the voting community

Hope that's clear now

Now that would never happen, so that would be the only waste of money in this thread so far.

oris Johnson appears to have backed away from expensive plans to make Big Ben bong to mark the moment Brexit happens, with Number 10 citing "potential difficulties".
It comes after the prime minister raised the prospect of the public being able to raise money for the cost of making Big Ben chime at 11pm on 31 October to mark the UK’s legal exit from the European Union.
"We're working up a plan so people can bung a bob for a Big Ben bong, because there are some people who want to," Mr Johnson said during a BBC interview earlier this week.
But on Thursday, the prime minister’s official spokesman said: “The House of Commons authorities have set out the their may be potential difficulties in accepting money from public donations.”
He continued: “The PM’s focus is on the events which he and the government are planning to mark January 31 and its significant moment in our history and we want to ensure that’s properly recorded.”:

I suppose if you feel you have to celebrate you can always pop the champers, or have a few fireworks.

fireworks maybe?

I have no objection to people celebrating a particular event, I do have a problem when it is being used to rub peoples noses in it, and that's how it is coming across to me. They won, they are getting their wish, that should be enough when so large a percentage disagree
