Boris has pledged to cut down on waste.

Good for him.

I have heard that the ecsessive cost was a ploy by pissed off
remainers to stop the bell from striking??
BTW how did the bell strike on new years eve??

On the question of where have all the remainers gone?
I think the answer is, they are simmering gently in the background!!

I'm struggling to understand why Brexit voters want Big ben to chime on Brino day. A bell in London chiming, surely there must be a provincial equivalent that better symbolises the Brexit cause?
