"Those in a certainly age-bracket are probably using it a the first step in creating a cashless society... "By replacing a cash note with another? That seems like an awfully round about way of achieving this. | |||

"Well why fix something that’s not broken Use the notes until they need replacement and then possibly add someone who is worthy of being on the note (like new notes and coins with the king) If it’s changed just for the sake of change Tax payer foots the bill in the end " They change them because they start to get forged. Not just for fun. | |||

"Seriously have people got nothing better to do than be offended by what's on the back of a £5 note? To them I say " fuck off" " Typical fake offensive to trigger outrage. Media love to stir the pot to generate content and controversy. | |||

But why do we keep pandering to these people who take offence over everything as they said in Star Trek the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few " Because people find it easier to roll over and submit rather than argue a point. The faux outrage brigade are too quick to point fingers and start labelling people as racists or left wing, right wing, trans phobic, xenophobic and so on and they are happy to start a smear campaign towards anyone who disagrees with them. These people are then happy to plaster all sorts of shit in social media and basically ruin lives and careers just to further their status as professionally offended. So people are scared to get into it and will happily stand back and watch art defaced, statues destroyed and the likes for fear of reprisals. | |||

"Apparently people are being triggered by the picture of Winston Churchill on the back of £5 notes and the bank of England are considering changing it. What the fook is wrong with the guy who led us through one of the greatest victories in Europe? Can I just say, if anyone is triggered by this, can you please forward the notes onto myself. Mr F. " There was a lot wrong with him. HOOOOOOWEVER... there were worse, there currently are worse, and there will be worse in the future. Regardless of his personal views (some of which are disgusting) the guy knew how to lead a country in a war... And listen to the people around him who knew how to do it also. I think, instead of removing historic/cultural persons, they need to just talk about the good and bad. He was an important person for THIS country, so small gestures like removing him from a fiver or pulling a statue down won't achieve anything but build resentment. | |||

GB News is a news television channel in the United Kingdom that is based on opinions. It started on 13 June 2021 on Freeview, Sky, YouView, Freesat and Virgin Media.

"Anyone who is "triggered" by Sir Winston Churchill's face on fiver has little or nothing in life to worry about. If it were not for this great mans leadership together with immense bravery of countless men & women we would all be speaking German and spending Deutschmark's" Winston Churchill would have had half the people on this site sterilized!

"I roll my eyes at anything that starts with "apparently" Cite your sources The current bank notes were mostly designed (with some noticeable exceptions) over 50 years ago. The bank of England are currently consulting the public on a full redesign of all the notes It's not about anyone being offended about anything, it's recognising that maybe other people should get recognition after half a century...
Cite your sources?

" Seems to be winning on live TV broadcasts. That's much less of an achievement than it used to be with both TV and print losing audience heavily to online. Perhaps it's more that leftism is moving with the times rather than holing up in decrepit archaic strongholds. No, wait, can't be that. Can this dumpster fire be thrown to politics yet? 💜 | |||

I mean.....as soon as the war was over what happened? From the Imperial War Musuem archives. "From May 1940 to May 1945, Britain had been governed by a coalition government, with Conservative MP Winston Churchill as Prime Minister. Churchill had proved himself to be a popular leader during the Second World War, so he was confident that the Conservatives would win this election based on his wartime success. Instead, in one of the biggest electoral swings of the twentieth century, the Labour Party won the general election decisively, winning 393 seats, while the second-placed Conservatives only secured 197. With an emphasis on social reform, the Labour Party’s manifesto was strongly influenced by the Beveridge Report and included a commitment to full employment, affordable housing, and social security and health care for all. In contrast, the Conservative campaign focused on Churchill’s popular appeal, lowering taxation, maintaining defence spending and encouraging private business interests. While Churchill acknowledged a need for social reform, he argued that this should be done privately rather than by the government, claiming that Labour would need 'some kind of Gestapo' to implement such reform. Despite Churchill’s concerns, the Labour Party’s emphasis on social reform clearly appealed to many voters, who gave Labour a landslide victory at the polls and a clear mandate for change." | |||

"Not a single note is the same as 50 years ago.Just focusing on the £5 note. Back is Winston,only since 2016,front is the King since 2024 and every note is now smaller and polymer.Every other note has changed dramatically over the years " Personally, I'd prefer our banknotes to carry on having historic figures on them (go on...stick Maggie on next, that would REALLY piss the left off 😆) rather than arty-farty shit or something a five year old has doodled for a Blue Peter competition. Anyway, how's Charlie's health at the moment ? Surely there's no point churning out fresh designs until we need new banknotes with William V on them . | |||

That’s just one quote of his that I’m familiar with. He believed in racial hierarchies. The fact that he also believed that whiteness was not possessed by all white groups doesn’t make him less of a white supremacist.

He’s a white suprematist, I’m so sorry to tell you that. It’s there in history. If that doesn’t bother you, that’s one thing, but him being one isn’t really a debate
I would disagree with you a bit pickle, he wasn't so much a white supremacist as a British imperialist.
He hated black and brown people true, but he also hated other white Europeans, not just the Germans, but the french and other Europeans on the allied side, he also had contempt for women in his own country, he was a well known mysoginist, he also hated the poor here, despite the poor doing most of the fighting and dying for his war. All of whom were pretty white.
Sounds like a thoroughly nice chap no?
"I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."
- sounds pretty white supremacist to me.
That’s just one quote of his that I’m familiar with. He believed in racial hierarchies. The fact that he also believed that whiteness was not possessed by all white groups doesn’t make him less of a white supremacist. In fact it can be argued it’s also pretty text book white supremacist. "I agree, I was trying to make the point that he wasn't just a racist white supremacist, he did look down upon other races, and did believe in a racial hierarchy. He was a racist, mysoginist, who also hated lots of white people too was my point. He seems to have hated poor people in general who he considered weak simply because he was born into money. | |||

"The only TV news outlet I would even begin to qualify as slightly left of centre is probably Channel4 news and that's a stretch too, it's just a bit less biased. I don't really think any mainstream media TV news channels are anything but centrist/centre right. The BBC/ITV/SKY are certainly anything but left wing. You can't label everything that's not right wing, left wing. There's a whole centre ground. As someone with an interest in left-wing politics (oh no, I'm a woke leftie snowflake) I tend to watch independent online news sources like Novara Media, but if I do watch TV news its usually Channel4 news. " If you haven't already, I'd recommend Ground News. The website tries to post news article that are neutral. Instead of having a Left or Right Wing bias. It is pretty good. And I enjoy the website. | |||

Ps I appreciate that Churchill being a hero is mostly (not always) related to the age you are and it might well not be relevant to you.
