Re: It's official, Big Ben will chime on 31st January
At 23:00 GMT Jan the UK will regain independence, a thing that should never have been handed over to the loathsome EU in the first place.
A proposal was made to sound Big Ben to celebrate this great event but the cost of doing so was said to be half a mil quid according to the civil service estimate.
Mark Francois, the Conservative MP for Rayleigh and Wickford has now shown the all up cost to be about fifteen thousand.
In addition various church leaders have vetoed a freedom peal to celebrate Freedom Day.
Just WTF is going on? The most stupendous event since the end of WW2 and a refusal to celebrate it?
I think it's time that the civil service swamp was drained and a bunch of men in dresses were picked up by the ears and thoroughly shaken.
In our little village we're having a professional firework display with BIG bangers, and in case the local vicar refuses to let the church bell ring I'm arranging a BIG PA system that will broadcast a recording of a peal of bells at a sound level at least double of the church bell.
Well a 1 kilowatt amplifier and matching speaker array would wouldn't it!
Anyone else going to have a public do to celebrate Freedom Day?
