Be good if they stick a topless page 3 girl with an advert for The Sun on! Two fingers to feminism!

Would you actually want to handle such notes? Just imagine whose hands they will have been pawed by ... uuurgh.

I entirely agree. Personally, I think that obsessions about such things are indicative of a lack of more serious political analysis and the desire to pick on 'easy' things.



There has been such a campaign in the last year or so – and I signed the petition for it. That was Alan Turing, as it happened.

Or to a specific variety of feminism.

There is no 'one' feminism.

Thatcher would have loved that.

I'd put Stephen Fry on one, Dally wouldn't put one in his trousers again.

Oh he would, but when no-one was looking.

I wouldn't be able to stomach a nice long line of coke if I had to see Thatchers ugly sneering mug as I rolled the note up.
Perish the thought!

You bankers are all the same!

Do people have to be dead to get on notes?
Tim Berners-Lee would have to pop up at some time, he's changed the world as we know it.

As for feminist women a great shout is Emily Pankhurst and if the Scots get independence a suggestion would be Flora MacDonald.

As I mentioned earlier, there is a campaign to put Alan Turing on a note. And he arguably made Berners-Lee's contribution possible – plus his huge contribution to the war effort.



One of the current suggestions is Mary Seacole.

The Queen is dead?
They kept that quiet, why wasn't I told?

Mind you, I've long suspected that Phil the Greek is a zombie.

In much the same way that I'd suggest that Mary Wollstonecraft paved the way for the Pankhursts.
The list is long.

I meant the other side

and not the other side as in zombie

So desperate was she to keep Charlie off the throne that she invented the QueenBot3000 before her passing.

So long as such a note had not been wrapped round another extremity I wouldn't care.

Hilda Ogden

No, no, no, if it must be a woman then it has to be a strong matriarchal character - Ena Sharples.

OK, Nora Batty then

Nurse Gladys Emanuel.

Danny la Rue would tick an awful lot of boxes

Isn't there already one queen on every note?

Like stamps?

When did he die?

I think the policy was scrapped a few years ago. There have been Rugby World Cup, Ashes, and Olympic special sets. It did used to be the case though, as I remember the reaction when Roger Taylor was in the background of a Freddie Mercury one.

The Jocks could put her on their banknotes now should they wish.
