Hull City fan in peace https://www.change.org/p/bank-of-en...table-unicorn-for-the-face-of-the-new-50-note Over 2,000 people (and counting) have signed a campaign in support of former Hull City star Harry Maguire – for a bizarre reason. Following the Bank of England’s announcement that the £50 note is to get a redesign, the public have been putting forward their suggestions of who should be the face of the cash. Currently English manufacturer Matthew Boulton and the Scottish engineer James Watt, founders of the Boulton and Watt engineering and manufacturing firm, are on the note. But a Change.org campaign has been set up to put Leicester defender Maguire – riding an inflatable unicorn no less – on the note, which would be utterly bonkers and hilarious at the same time. Set up by Jonny Sharples, he wrote: “The Bank of England are redesigning the £50 following the successful redesign of the £5, £10, and £20 notes. please log in to view this image How Harry Maguire could look as the face of the new £50 note... (Image: Change.org) "None of these notes so far have featured a World Cup semi-finalist floating on a mythical creature, and in the interests of football's attempts to come home, who would be more appropriate to feature than Harry Maguire riding an inflatable unicorn?” At the weekend, the Bank of England confirmed £50 notes will remain after government plans to scrap them alongside 1p and 2p coins. A review in March suggested scrapping the £50 note to clampdown on criminals using them for fraudulent activity. But Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, Robert Jenrick, confirmed the note is not going anywhere as he appreciated it is part of the "UK's identity."
Monarchs are apparently allowed to be alive, the only exclusion. I clearly didn't check the spell check... but am not ruling out blaming Trump!
