The BBC reports:
Wildlife to replace historical figures on banknotes - and you get a say

Apparently the Bank of England was advised that using (white) historical figures was 'elitist and divisive', presumably by diversity advocates Savanta famed for:

Investigating Intersectionality
In a landscape transformed by an era of self-discovery, the veils of bias are slowly lifting, allowing the shared threads of diverse lives to weave together striking commonalities — their voices resonating stronger than ever before, addressing ethnicity, sexuality, gender, and religion.
So out go those bigots Austen, Churchill and Turing.
FNN has learned from an anonymous source that they will be ditched in favour of more inclusive images like:
- the red squirrel - now rare in the UK having been forced out by immigrant grey squirrels
- the kirpan - the great 'British' ceremonial knife
- a minicab driver
- George Floyd - the BLM icon who is just like one of us (according to David Lammy)
- Vladimir Zelensky - revered in the EU for his celebration of WW2 Nazi collaborators and murderers
But all this doesn't really matter as 'they' - whoever they are - are trying to drop cash anyway and get everyone to pay for everything digitally so we can all be inclusively tracked, whomever we diversely are.
