Oi, Bank of England, keep a woman on English banknotes!

So, Winston Churchill is set to replace social reformer Elizabeth Fry as the face of £5 notes. This means that, other than the Queen, there will be no women featuring on our English bank notes.

There's a petition against this at Change.org, which can be found here. It notes that, "An all-male line-up on our banknotes sends out the damaging message that no woman has done anything important enough to appear...People will perhaps say that the Queen appears on all the notes. But the Queen would be there whatever she achieved - she was born into her position. The men on the banknotes - Charles Darwin, Adam Smith, Matthew Boulton, James Watt, and soon, Winston Churchill - are all there because of what they have done, not because of who their parents were."

Quite right, I say. You know what to do, good people.
