Just when you thought it had all finished, there’s always time to squeeze in some extra ‘Brexit bollocks’ for extra fun. It’s done. It’s dusted. We’re leaving. So we need, apparently, to ‘celebrate’ this ‘wonderful’ event. Which 48% of the population never wanted. Maybe its to strengthen the positives of the whole Brexit mess and convey the message (in case anyone missed it) that ‘Brexit is getting done’ on January 31st. So Boris wants Big Ben to ring out that very message. But Big Ben is undergoing a massive reconstruction. Along with half of Westminster. So, ok, you can ring Big Ben on Brexit night, but iss gonna cost’cha half a million quid! Well, there’s delays to the works, iss gotta be tested, tried, there’s elf’n’safety to consider, bish bosh, call lit 500k, that’s fair.

But… but… but… to ring the bell on New Years cost just 14,000. Yeah, but there’s… errrr… inflation. Always bad in January. And New Years bell ring was… easier. Errrrr… less disruptive to works. So the cost now is only half a mil.

Boris decided to ‘crowd fund’ the event. And as any cost goes up in inverse proportion to the intelligence of those paying for it, they arrived at the biggest sum they could conjure up knowing how Brexiteers are so dim they’ll pay anything to ‘make their point’.

But alas, having raised over 200k in ‘donations’ in less than 2 days, they’ve now said they won’t ring their fucking bell anyway, so give the money back.

I’m devastated! How can it be Brexit without Big Ben? It just won’t be… the same(?) It just won’t be… British(?)

And today Spurs are playing Watford. And its still 0-0 after 87 enthralling minutes. And part of me (like, only from my toes to my ears) is, or will be relieved that we haven’t lost. To the team who were bottom until about 3 weeks ago. We drew with Watford when they were totally useless, in the home match and today (if we’re lucky and don’t give it away in the dying seconds) we’ll draw with them again. I wonder if Big Ben will ring when we win a match?

Happy Saturday
