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?

I suspect quite a few bellringers could get behind ringing on half muffled bells, which is the traditional way to ring them for mourning and remembrance.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls
Fuck off Boris!

Bloody typical..."we want everybody in the country to pay for something that's only in London" ...well I want everyone to pay for our hallway clock cos that bugger sounds like the Death Knell every time it chimes...

Tap a tanner to Trapped.

Bellends for bells ...

I think the point is that you only donate if you want to, nobody is forcing anybody to do so. What's your problem?

Lots of problems. It's divisive and pathetic given that just under half the country is not celebrating but is mourning.

It's not happening anyway so perhaps all the happy Brexiteers can watch Big Ben bong on youtube at midnight. That's what the revolting Richard Tice is doing. Sad!

It speaks volumes that the second referendum petition hit over 5 million signatures, and yet a clarion call to the Brexiteers throughout the land has reeled in ...

A few hundred pounds and a Everton Mint

(I defy anyone to get that last reference )

It also speaks volumes that Boris big majority wasn't used to simply pass a law to "make it so".

Yeh, Roussette and more than half are! I'm not one of them by the way, but respect the rights of people who want it, particularly if it isn't costing me or anybody else who doesn't want it, a single penny. Bored of hearing people moaning. Apart from that considering this is a website for parents and aimed at promoting good parenting, the language used on here is revolting.

I've just seen that Leave EU are suggesting that their faithful followers break into churches to ring the bells themselves. If they do, it'll be a classic Darwin as they discover that trying to ring half a ton's worth of bell metal when you don't know what you're doing is bloody dangerous.

A case of Take Back Controoooooooooooooooool!!!!!!!

They are mad as fuck, and would probably want to put up a statue to the strangling dangling Brexiteer like the one at St Mere Eglise.

I love people who proclaim that church bells should ring to celebrate whatever their personal obsession is. It never occurs to them that ringers are volunteers who can't be compelled to do anything, and who might not be too keen on flogging up to the belltower at midnight to suit their personal whims. And they never seem to keen on learning to ring themselves.

Me too. Do they think church bells ring themselves?

Yeh, Roussette and more than half are!

I know! But why can't they just crack on as they are, as opposed to bells ringing out (which was at the end of the WWII the last time I think - hardly comparable).
The half that supported this can just sit back and enjoy this momentous occasion along with all the benefits of exiting -and perhaps they could let me know what the benefits are while they're at it--

The benefits are the long-awaited return to old-fashioned British values like... breaking into churches.

Mayhap the brexiters can break a few stained glass windows while they're at it, as well.

The delicious irony being that any fool can dong a forrin dangly bell, but the very thing that makes British bells unique is that they bong when flipped upside down, which takes skill, training, and not a little muscle.

Just shout "Bong means Bong" at the bell. That'll sort it.

I'm not even sure what they think they're celebrating. As I understand, what will happen on 1st February is that we become essentially a vassal state of the EU - subject to most of their rules and regulations, but without any power to influence what those rules and regulations are. If that is really what Brexiteers view as cause for celebration, I'm sure they could have had it years ago with much less fuss.

Who says you can't swear online and still be a good parent? I'm taking back control - fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck ...

I’m a fucking awesome parent, when I’m not pissed off or in a shit mood. Then I’m a cunt.

I didn't say you can't swear online and be a good parent, you can do that as much as you like. Your children will be very proud of you, I'm sure. They'll probably grow up to be as foul-mouthed and abusive as their parents. Enjoy your 'control', though it certainly hasn't given you any self-control

Why do we need a bell? Didn’t the bell tigers association refuse to donor because it wasn’t religious (or something) although a death knell might be appropriate.

Bell tigers? I need to wear my glasses! Campanologists...

I don't see any need for this, even I think its a step to far,

They can go and fuck themselves with giant spiked dildos.

I have tons of self control. I haven't insulted you for a start!

Although it is so very, very tempting ...

A Bob is a shilling = 5p. Or 12d pre decimalisation. Or a Sickle - for Harry Potter fans 😂😂😂😂😂
