It isn't often our talking heads in Westminster get something right (indeed it's so rare I can scarcely believe it when they do. Whatever enemies we have on this planet, now is the time to strike!), but when the decision was made to silence Big Ben for the duration of the maintenance I thought 'Well DUH! - how could guys work in the bell chamber for months on end with that racket going on day and night?' But guess what - the idiots have changed their tiny minds . . . "David Davis became the first Cabinet minister to wade into the row, saying it was “mad” to silence the bongs for so long, adding: “There’s hardly a health and safety argument... They should get on with it.” And he's 'the minister for Brexit'. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/15/big-ben-row-mps-kept-dark-plan-silence-bongs-four-years/
I heard suggestions to temporarily move parliament to Birmingham while Westminster gets renovated because that too is crumbling down. I wonder why don't they do this now while they work on the iconic clock?
No problemo mate, I've been known to unintentionally do it myself. Also the four years being a 'long stretch'? The perfectly reasonable exceptions will be on New Year Eve and one or two other commemorative occasions, but seeing as these idiots have to put up with it every hour they're working (and I use the word loosely ), I'd have thought they'd be glad of a rest from the racket.
I don't pay them to have 'fun', I pay them to run the country in a right and proper manner. Instead of that they're ****ing it up.
With the recent crap in Spain and further afield I guess that could be an object lesson for all of us.
Indeed. It's kinda scary, but when I saw those folks in that raft washing ashore recently, I'd commented it looked like crude landing craft for invasion..... & had commented that there'd likely be some type of attack soon in Spain.
