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
