    How about this priest they arrested for attending a pro-Palesitian protest?

      Me neither, but that just provides us with an objective look at what’s clearly best, free of encumbering sentiment.

      I like the Bermudian idea of using flora and fauna to capture a country’s distinctive identity. A shift like this would show that we’re not trapped in tradition.

      Exactly. A spectral lion, dragon, and unicorn in the background. In the foreground, a bulldog wearing mirrored steampunk goggles on a surfboard doing an aerial off a cresting wave with a fancy caption beneath him reading “Britannia rules the waves!” The mirrored goggle lenses are where the shiny anti-counterfeiting hologram goes.

      Also, get Jessica Borutski to do the draft. She did a Canada logo a while back.

    Oh the options are endless…Liz Kendall in an SS uniform machine-gunning a load of disabled people, Yvette Cooper in a Suffragette tee laughing as a load of anti-genocide supporters get arrested for holding signs, Keir Starmer taking a shit on the UK whilst Farage stands off to one side loosening his belt ready to go next.

    Being a proud maritime nation, sure we should be celebrating this by having each denomination of note show a different famous vessel?

    £5 is Boaty McBoatface.
