(The Tories and lib Dems also moaning about it) I’ve read some bullshit (on Twitter obvs) about this. Some prick saying it was an act of self harm to remove Churchill. Was it an act of self harm to not have him on cash pre 2016? Anyroad the Bank of England held a consultation open to the public asking what they’d like to see on notes. 60% voted for themes of nature. 38% voted for historical figures. If folk are pissed off they’re losing Churchill maybe they should have got off their arses and got involved. Whining fuckers. Quote

You think our mams and dads whined like fuck about it back then? Honestly, this country is full of cunts. Quote

People who get worked up about shite like this are thick as fuck. I still use cash a fair bit, but honestly have no idea who is on the notes. Amazing what people get annoyed about and how angry they are. Quote
London Wanderer Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Can’t wait for Reform to sort the country out by getting our Winston back on banknotes. That’ll make everything better Quote

only1swanny Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Must be a lovely life when the worst issue you have is that you don't like the picture on a bank note Quote
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Imagine my disappointment when I read they're putting images of beavers on banknotes only to find out they mean the animal Quote

Fiver would be quite mild, tenner a bit raunchy, £20 pure filth...and as for the £50 quid note - well put it this way, nobody would ever spend it! Up until 1960 we didn't even have the monarch on any notes. Quote

Sweep Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Surely nobody is really bothered who does it doesn't appear on back notes? - hopefully we won't be using physical cash within 10/20 years anyway Quote
