Big Ben Can Bong For Brexit

I just don't care anymore. Probably not a good thing.

I don’t think we refer to ‘Boris’ as though he were a personal friend - that would be pretty daft.

However it IS an unusual and short name. We all know who we mean. Couldn’t do it if he were called Michael for example!

Further to your posts concerning what you appear to think of as ' the stupidity' behind the fund and the connection to Help For Heroes:-

www.helpforheroes.org.uk/news/big-ben-campaign-donations-to-go-to-help-for-heroes/

Extract:-

'Help for Heroes were not involved in soliciting this and were surprised by being named as a potential beneficiary. We are not a political charity and we don’t align ourselves with any specific political party and the donation to Help for Heroes is not being used to promote a political agenda or party.

Our ethical policy is enforced by our Risk & Audit Committee, made up of Trustees and our Chairman. The Committee has reviewed this donation against our ethical policy, and is happy that we are able to accept the funds to help provide vital support to our wounded and their families.'

Common sense prevails.

Its not just a tea towel there are fridge magnets and mugs too. Mugs being the appropriate word. These tacky "keepsakes" , grammatically incorrect, are being sold by the Conservative Party.

Aw bless ?

Really? I might buy a "get Brexit done" teatowel as it's so historical

anan change one letter and you’ll be spot on?

Brexit done toilet paper might be useful

'We are not a political charity and we don’t align ourselves with any specific political party and the donation to Help for Heroes is not being used to promote a political agenda or party.' I really have to disagree with that comment....

Oh what sour puss comments on here!
If Help For Heroes gets the money, that will be a fine thing.??

Susi Duh, you have heard of anonymous, have you?

That is your perogative.

I for one am glad common sense has been the route taken by Help For Heroes after they obviously gave the situation due diligence.

I hope those who see £272.000 going to an excellent charity will be greater in number than those such as yourself that considers it a mistake.

I think it is a far better use of fund raising than ringing the bells on Friday so I am very happy all round.

Will you admit that the whole situation makes Francois look pretty silly through, given that it obviously wasn't thought through very well?

Not particularly Labaik.

I hold no sway with Mark Francois, I hold no sway with the desire to ring Bells on Friday.

Looking silly can be attributed to many things, for example making assertions before the facts are known and name calling which I shy away from .

I am happy as I say that £272.000 has gone to Help For Heroes and that is my main reason for pointing out ' the facts' behind the story as I perceive it.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one I suppose.

How has Lindsay Hoyle got round the practical barriers to bonging Big Ben?
