Public asked to raise money so Big Ben can bong on Brexit night
 

:skull:

The mechanism was in place for New Year but has been removed, it was initially claimed it would have cost 120,000 to put it back but this has now risen to a incredible 500,000 and the public are being asked to donate, even if I did agree with Brexit, the cost being claimed has to be some kind of joke...

:umm2: let me have a think....NO!

Think I will buy a Greggs instead x

Lmao **** right off. I’d rather stick it down the drain.

Could use that money to donate to Australia in aid of the fires xx

let me find my cheque book

I think so

For £500k I'll scale the tower with my bare hands and screech "DING DOOOONG" from the top.

It's mind blowing that a figure like that can be plucked out of the air with no breakdown of the costs, and fools will pay to crowdfund it, someone will have a nice extra wedge in their bank account on 1st February

me scaling the tower before TS and shouting Bong rather than ding dong because that is the voice of the nation :hehe:

i would pay a tenner if we can use Farage's head to strike the bell

Trying to summon Livia for a girls night in?

:joker:

Sad

Anything to help the homeless, or just oversized grandfather clocks?

Big Ben! Shut up! Brexit! Fish & Chips! Saturday night telly! Sunday dinner at your gran's! Flatcaps! Brexit bells!

I think that's how it goes usually.

Seems reasonable considering the public use it.

Hoist bojo the clown up in the air and stick a mike up his arse
Then get him to fart at midnight :D

We pay tax towards its upkeep

A little more won't harm us

I wont be giving any tyvm, I think the government have made the right decision not to pay half a million pounds so the clock can chime a few times, if daft people want to pay out of their own pocket and not query why it is costing so much, that's up to them

You say daft, I say patriotic people.

Imagine not wanting to pay an extra little bit of tax for the NHS, but being happy to do it for a bell, couldn’t be me

Let those who voted for it pay, they own this ****show

"HOW DARE PEOPLE IN NEED USE OUR MONEY TO LIVE!!!! Oh what's that, dear, you need thousands upon thousands to ring a bell? Well, here you go dear, all you have to do is ask!"
