Suddenly everyone wants fireworks. .. on bonfire night the consensus was they should all be banned.

You can be fined £100 for dropping a cig butt, firework casings are fine though .. state approved.
Not to mention the noise pollution.
And unless you come to London all you see fir your money is a few damp squibs on a screen... very patriotic.

Good point and there's no reason to celebrate yet as the economic fallout can't be known...it seems to me the tories are ringing in some changes of their own :/

Calm down, I was just musing, the money is actually being donated to Help the Heros :D:

They thought they would reach 500,000 in 48 hours, in reality Aaron Banks put in 50k so its been a flop

Kizzy 17-01-2020 06:33 PM

Im sure I'd read they got to the target but the parliament committee would allow it to be accepted?

Saph 17-01-2020 06:35 PM

Brexiteers are still pouring cash into a fundraising campaign that seeks to have Big Ben ring to welcome in Brexit despite fears the public’s cash will be rejected.

Stand Up 4 Brexit's "Big Ben must bong for Brexit" campaign had raised just over £150,000 of its £500,000 target on the GofFundMe website by Friday morning.

But Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s official spokesman earlier admitted that there could be “potential difficulties” in accepting the money raised by the campaign.

Those who wish to celebrate Britain leaving the EU on January 31 will want to do so in the same manner as New Year's Eve - by looking at a clock, the campaign's organisers wrote online.

"The natural choice for this would be Big Ben but because it is currently undergoing refurbishment, special measures would have to be put in place, which could cost up to £500,000," a statement by StandUp4Brexit founder Rebecca Ryan and Mark Francois MP added.



Is there different news up North?

There is nothing in that link to say they are on target, it says they have reached 95k of the target, I posted twice, nothing to do with you not replying, more to do with me not bothering to edit my first post :D: I don’t know when you are online kizzy :shrug: and there are other people reading this thread :skull:

All from the north are they?...
Anyhoo the point is it is on target, but even if it did reach £500k the funds would not be applied due to parliamentary rules...which in honesty I would have expected the PM to be aware of BEFORE he started making unscripted public appeals.

Who said they were all from from the North?

My question was ..is there different news up North? as you said you had read they had reached their target which is clearly untrue

I love checking on this thread every few hours.

This time Parm has turned into some kind of Bishop and Kizzy is going to hell on judgement day.
