    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.

    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.

      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.

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

      how about the peace flag of northern ireland?

      oh no wait a minute, that’s right, the palestinians haven’t wanted peace for 100 years; not appropriate
