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.

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

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 :/
