Resist asabenn Cable cars to nowhere, a £53m fantasy Garden Bridge and now no 'Bung a Bob for a Big Ben Bong” to the dismay of BigBen BongForBrexit crackpots. What next Boris after BigBenBongGate? How about a Scotland and Northern Ireland bridge with custom controls at both ends? asabenn Probably decided against it as advisers may have told him bad idea.
