Bung a Bob for a Big Ben Bong

[Wiltinglillies]

I mean what the actual Fuck?

Apparently it'll cost half a million pounds to get Big Ben to ring to mark Brexit.

Is ANYONE planning to donate their hard earned cash in support of this ridiculous venture?

Yes, £350m each and every single week. I feel so optimistic for our rich future. How lucky we all are!

Fuck that with a rusty poker.

Politicians and even the Queen have spoken of wanting to "bring unity" to Britain. The way to do that is not with a prominent celebration of one side of the most divisive issue of the last decade!

The most ridiculous think I've read in years is that someone took that seriously 😂😂

Guilty as charged, it's a sad reflection on some of the mad people I know who would really mean it that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

A bridge you say? where is this lovely bridge? I must purchase it immediately

I don't think they should have to fund it themselves, there are people willing to donate, there just doesn't seem to be a lot of time to make the arrangements.

You stick to that, willothewispa, we've all been sent a little crazy by this ridiculousness.

Boris Johnson's brain works in miraculous ways.

If we hang him by his feet and whack his head with something hard it's bound to make a reverberating noise of some sort.

I'd donate to a crowdfund to see that.

"When historians look back, they will declare it even more important than July 4th 1776. Even more earth shattering than 14th July 1789. In fact, it's probably an understatement to say that Brexit will overtake the Apollo missions as the high water mark of humans rising to a challenge and succeeding."

I'd like to think so, but we appear to live in a country of utter morons in many ways who wouldn't see what was coming their way if it was written on the side of a double decker bus. And even then they'd continue to blame the "furriners". Which in some parts of the country is anyone from more than 3 miles away. My only consolation is that WHEN we do revolutions in England we REALLY do them. January 30th 1649. We also need a new Wat Tyler....

Revolutions rarely favour the intellectual and articulate. The revolution is underway. It is Brexit. It is not going to be pretty.

SerendipityJane please keep posting

I'll try. MNHQ have put me on the naughty step for Misplaced Humour (Offences Against The Sensible Act 2020) so I'll have to scale back the subtle and ramp up the ridiculous

Why not just record that 'Bwaaaah mwaaaah mwaaaah hmph' upper class braying noise that Johnson makes all the time and play that?

Maybe the bell should be run in mourning for our entry into the status of vassal country?

Like the Cloister bell in the TARDIS in Dr. Who (shows age and gives not a shit)

*Is ANYONE planning to donate their hard earned cash in support of this ridiculous venture?"

Am I FUCK!!!

they will raise it tho. From the money of absolute cockwombles

Is ANYONE planning to donate their hard earned cash in support of this ridiculous venture?

I would gladly sell my house and all it's contents to help the BBC Brexit

(said no one, ever)

Now, if someone actually had a burst of intelligence and announced they'd decided to cancel the whole ridiculous idea, I could get behind a massive celebration of the fact that Britain had finally come to its senses ...

You stick to that, willothewispa, we've all been sent a little crazy by this ridiculousness

Some of us were crazy to start with

My only consolation is that WHEN we do revolutions in England we REALLY do them. January 30th 1649.

England has never had a revolution.

I’d gladly pay to see Francois shout “bong bong bong” etc through a megaphone (preferably one with a dying battery).

I think that could also be quite a good metaphor for Brexit.

It’s rubbing our noses in this bloody shitstorm. There will doubtless be lunatics prepared to pay for it, though.

*Toss a tanner for transport

Fling a florin for foreign affairs

Sling a shilling for schools*

Forego a fiver for the food bank

How many people under fifty know what a 'Bob' is? Boris hasn't realised we've gone decimal. He's a little bit slow.

We could just bong Francois' empty head instead. I feel really bad because I'm anti violence but that made me laugh out loud. I'm hanging my head in shame.

Toss a tanner for transport

Fling a florin for foreign affairs

Sling a shilling for schools

Forego a fiver for the food bank

Give a groat for local government

Twat a Tory for a thrill.

Or the cuntservative unspoken tagline:
Pinch a Penny from the poor

No interest in paying for Big Ben to chime, drinking the bottle of champagne currently chilling in my fridge will be enough to celebrate Brexit on the 31st.

No doubt all you remainers will be doing something similar to drown your sorrows.
