The tower housing Big Ben is to be renamed the Elizabeth Tower in honour of the Queen, the House of Commons has confirmed.

Should have compromised with Big Lizzy

Which makes no difference at all, as the bell is still called Big Ben and everyone will forever call the tower encasing it Big Ben too.

Our politics is engaged in distraction.

I think it's a nice gesture. It would be scandalous to let 60 years royal service pass by without a tribute of some kind.

She gets tribute all the fucking time. Huge castles and land, picture on the money, huge income, art collection, horses, cars, guards, parades all the time, postal service.
