More erasing of history...

[HorsePills]

Don't worry mate you can still paint a St George's cross on the fridge in your garden.

 

[Baloo]

No one, not a single country celebrates bad things. Youre just coming up with nonsense.
Shakespeare, Turing deserve recognition, not removing.

Shakespeare has already been removed. As has Florence Nightingale who you mentioned earlier.

I think more should be done to celebrate great British people, but given there’s only 4 types of bank note in circulation (and they’re changed every few years), I don’t see the issue with not having them on there.

I’d rather have something akin to world book day where kids dress up as their favourite Briton (would probably still be Paddington, Harry Potter, Luke O’Nien).

Not before I've painted my house number on my wheelie bin

 

[CatRyan]

Sounds like you may not have read any?

I've got lerds.

Your argument is offensive and racist aside from being, by any standard, bullshit.

Ill bite.
Do you honestly think "wokeness" isn't a thing?

Are you using the standardised SMB definition of "woke"?

 

[Tadger]

Thank you.

But I think we have very different ideas of what it means.

Circulating great people is the crux.
Id happily see Johnson Beharrell (sp) on a note. A modern great.

But I think we have very different ideas of what it means.

Im sure we do.

 

[CatRyan]

Thank you.

You just can't say what it is....

But I think we have very different ideas of what it means.

Oh I say.... beautiful delivery

 

[Tuono]

No dogs, cows or pigs please. Don't want to upset the religious lot.

 

[Unbalanced Views]

No. Fanny is definitely a praising word.

I’m hoping for a beaver on the tenner

Or a nice pair or Tits.

Ant and Dec?

Maybe you should try voting then

Replaced but the theme remained. Historical greats.
Now the theme is changing and all of these greats are binned.
I take it you think Gandhi should be removed from Rupees and replaced with a flower?

Ghandi did experiments that required a 14 year old relative sleep naked with him when he was in his 70s.

So there would be an argument for it.

I can't believe that some people are getting so animated about putting British wildlife on bank notes. Seems so innocuous.

Guess not.

Presumably you mean Johnson Beharry.

A modern great, but you don't even have the respect to check how to spell his name correctly...

You see i put (sp).
That means I was unsure of the spelling, tough guy.

 

[dangermows]

Johns gone leet. Again.

 

[wigwams]

Alan Turing, worth less than an otter
Churchill, lesser than a vole.
Florence Nightengale, suitable name, unsuitable person.

Convinced you’re a parody account.

Like the one that rips the piss out of Farage

Define woke, unless using the standardised SMB definition
What history has been erased before?

Was just thinking the same.... like another @Hetty public service to keep the board popping

 

[EDGE]

I dont want the bank notes changed. I want them TO REMAIN celebrating historical greats.
If that isn't clear enough for you, tough.

They are being changed. So tough titty
