Play recordings of the bell and chimes via high-quality loudspeakers while maintenance is being performed.
Muslims will otherwise see this as some sort of victory. No sense making things any easier for the filthy invaders.

Four years to fix a clock? We won World War two in four years. On two continents at the same time. Maybe the Brits should forego tea time and get this thing wrapped up.

Four years to complete...at approx $40 million???

That's what happens when government does the job.

They should contact one of the Trump companies. The job would be done in half the time and at half the cost!

When it starts up again it will be issuing muzzy calls to prayer starting at 4 AM.

A truly fitting metaphor for a once proud country that has lost it’s way and future is doomed.

Steve Jaggs, whose official title is "Keeper of the Great Clock", said in a parliament statement on Monday.

I wish I could put "Keeper of the Great Clock" on my résumé.

What’s the over/under that it will ever ring again? Maybe Mayor Khan can be consulted on the British future in 4 years.

A couple of years ago I watched some program about the rich young Arabs and their “summer season” in London, making a general nuisance of themselves in their gaudy supercars. At one point one of those arrogant slugs was driving past Big Ben as it chimed, and he said to his co-driver that “once the place is fully ours, it will be silenced.” The hatred was tangible.

And here we are...
