I think that all the time we have a woman on every bank note, it's only fair that the rest of the pictures are of men. For equality, an' all that.

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.
