Imagine being the kind of person who cares enough to actually spend your money on this.

The mind boggles.

Nothing more than half a million pounds worth of triumphalism that nobody needs.

The vile Mark Francois is all for it, so for that reason alone I'd happily contribute to a fund to keep the bells silent

Can't we just get a British Bulldog to have a slash on the French flag on BBC1?

Will give the same people the patriotic hard on they're craving

What a sad bunch you lot are. Personally, I don’t need Big Ben to chime. Just leaving that cesspit is enough for me.

This seems to be dieing on its arse. Come on Brexiteers, where's your bulldog spirit? You've defeated the Nazis and the Frogs! And now that we're free of Europe we'll be coining it in , so sure you can afford a few quid?

Cost to get it done would mean stopping other process
In the list of things to be done to be rescheduled .
