"Bung a bob for Big Ben's bongs" [split topic] [merged]

[Huxleys Babkins]

Turns out that Johnson was lying out of his fat fucking arse again. Imagine.

I'm sure they'll spin this into another "we wanted to, but the elite/nanny state/EU/Jerry Crobbins wouldn't let us" culture war battle.

There is something deeply wrong about the government crowdfunding something like this, though its list of contributors would provide a handy guide to who is a massive fucking idiot twatcunt arsehole

[idunnosomename]

they arent. it's all nonsense. i dont know why they couldnt just play a tape from the clock tower instead. but this is the conservation of a world heritage site. you cant just rush it through so mark francois can pop a chubby at the sheer britishness of the whole fucking charade that is our septic flow that is a nation

[idunnosomename]

we were doomed when parliament approved calling the clock tower "the elizabeth tower". Fuck it, it's Big Ben. Ever heard of a metonym? Fuck you

[imitationleather]

"the elizabeth tower"

It's a nightmare to find anything in this country because everything is fucking called Elizabeth.

Die Britain Die

... yes, im back to my pre-2015 nihilism

i think you underestimate how much more shit is called victoria. but. time.

[Johnny Yesno]

How must we respect the referendum result?

Patriotically.

Well, in that clip, Varoufakis puts himself as 0.8 out of 10 in his enthusiasm for the Greek state. So, no, not patriotically.

[Fambo Number Mive]

The House of Commons Commission has said the estimated cost of up to £500,000 cannot be justified and using donations would be "unprecedented".

An amendment to the PM's Brexit bill, which would have required it to chime on Brexit day at 23:00 GMT, failed last week.

So who put through the amendment which I assume would have required the Government to pay up to £500,000 of public money for the clock to make a noise .

[BlodwynPig]

We can all put our hands in our armpit and clamp down at the requisite hour

[madhair60]

what can the proletariat (me) do to ensure that BIG BEN BONG happen on Brexit time?

Technically the bell is really called the Great Bell and Big Ben is just a nickname, so anyone using the latter name for anything, bell or tower, is wrong and probably hates the Queen and Prince Philip and all the ravens and beefeaters and Prince Andrew's cock.

Edited to add: I shall crowdfund Vera Lynn to impersonate the sound of Big Ben chiming. That's the really patriotic thing to do.

[Inspector Norse]

According to THE INTERNET they rang Big Ben on New Year's Eve using an electric motor. Can't they just do that again?

Apologies for not having bothered doing any proper research and just expecting someone here to know the answer.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Crowdfunder to trebuchet Boris into Big Ben.

[Buelligan]

I don't really give a fuck.  It's all bullshit.  Unsurprising to see Johnson polishing this particular piece of brass, the fucking cunt.  I hope someone's drilled a huge hole in his lifeboat.

THE CLOCK TOWER THAT HOLDS THE GREAT BELL OF THE PALACE OF WESTMINSTER

Grave mate. Its big ben

These cunts will never be happy about anything. They do not have it in them.

[Chollis]

it simply MUST bong

CRUSH the bong saboteurs

[GMTV]

Simply must

[Buelligan]

I know it's wrong.  Warped even.  I'd love to see it fall down in a heap, possibly crushing Johnson whilst he smirks and grunts with some DM cunts and titty blondes, just fall down like that, flump, the French would say, at the first forced bong.  Then silence and someone laughing far away.  I'd stay up to watch that.

God these lot are never happy are they

[Cuellar]

I think we should all learn to compromise and just ask Boris to burn the tower down with Mark Francois inside it like the end of The Wicker Man on the 31st.
