The clanging chimes of doom?
Or reverberating bongs of freedom?
The hopes of diehard Brexiters to hear the chimes of Big Ben sound at the moment the UK leaves the EU appear to have finally been dashed by Downing Street, as it indicated this will not happen even if the public raises the £500,000 needed to pay for it.
According to Boris Johnson’s spokesman, Commons authorities – who warned on Tuesday of the high cost of completing the complex restoration of the clocktower – have said there could be difficulties in accepting public donations.

When asked, the clock people should have just said “yeah it will”, and then it would have been a great joke on the night when it didn’t … oh well
