Everyone should be free to celebrate or ignore as they see fit but to ring BB won’t do anything to heal this already very divided country. Childish and unnecessary in the extreme.

How very sad, and what a waste of money. This country is divided enough over B as it is without this nonsense!

Eazy yes, we did think about the English version, but Bolly is Bolly ( and it was a present to us.)

Yes, we will be celebrating with a very good bottle of sparkling wine from our local English vineyard.

Think it will cost £500,000! So if it’s 10 bongs that’s £50,000 a bong. Pointless waste, and yes, it could be much better spent.
What would you all spend half a million on..?

A scheme has been suggested to raise money by donations for Big Ben to ring out as we leave the EU.
For goodness sake ! If people want to mark the occasion surely there must be better ways for donations to be spent.
