Goes from bad to worse. Spending £500,000 on a couple of bongs is pretty stupid, but getting 650 MPs to spend a day debating it simply adds another layer of madness to it. Haven't they got anything better to do?
Inept, incompetent and completely bonkers. Pass the popcorn.

No, the entire fundraising effort is a satire. If you actually read it you would realise that all the funds raised are actually going to the Trussell Foundation, who operate food banks across the UK.Originally posted by Eirikur View PostSo you really think someone spent £30 just for satirical reasons?

I think that this symbolic gesture is massively important because of the war and Germans and stuff. Great Britain didn't give up in 1944 on the beaches of Normandy, and as a nation we need to stand up and say NO to Brussels - no matter what you bureaucrats might say about it, we say 'up yours' to you all and WE WILL MAKE Big Ben bong.So he spends £30 on something useless as ringing church bellsAnonymous9 mins ago
I wish there was no need for foodbanks.
£30.00
