The Banknotes of Woke Britain
A carefully curated amphibian deemed the only thing that poses no threat to social cohesion.
The western world has been overrun by diversity maniacs.
We learned last Friday that the Bank of England decided to remove historical figures like Sir Winston Churchill from banknotes after research suggested they were “elitist” and “divisive”.
Never mind that without Winston Churchill UK currency would likely feature swastikas.
The bank had said it was replacing historical figures with images of wildlife because such images were more difficult to counterfeit.
Boastful Churchill Banknotes and Problematic Political Landscapes
But the UK Telegraph revealed that months prior to the decision, the bank had commissioned research that concluded British heroes such as Churchill were “contentious and not representative of the UK’s cultural and natural diversity”.
Feedback found many people felt like featuring Churchill was a form of “imperialistic” boasting.
You know, the sort of boast that says: “We fought a defensive war against a genocidal dictatorship and won.”
How embarrassing.
But it wasn’t just historical figures that researchers warned were problematic.
They also cautioned the bank not to replace historical figures with historical buildings in case those buildings were later discovered to have been built with slave labor.
So no people, and no buildings.
What about environmental landmarks?
Nice try…
Researchers said featuring the Cliffs of Dover, for example, might be interpreted as a statement about illegal migrants who have turned the spectacular beach into their preferred port of entry.
Britain: A Civilisation Bereft of Confidence
So with historical figures too elitist, historical architecture too problematic and natural landmarks too political, the bank had painted itself into a corner so small it could only be occupied by a committee.
Heroes were divisive. Buildings were problematic. Landscapes were political.
That left animals.
Even then, not just any animals. A carefully curated shortlist of approved creatures: six mammals, six birds and six amphibians, fish and insects.
So Great Britain is now a civilisation so bereft of confidence that the only thing it feels brave enough to feature on its money is a frog.
The whole thing is nuttier than a pile of squirrel dung. Which is perhaps why squirrels were not listed as an option.

The rainbow has become holy. The Bible has become blasphemy. While Canada's Prime Minister celebrates at a Pride parade, a New York Catholic hospice caring for terminal cancer patients faces closure — unless the nuns agree to use the 'correct' pronouns.
Very funny indeed but so true!

Thank you Dr James.
Where will the madness stop?
Maybe Churchill should be replaced by the likes of ‘Sir’ Elton John.
How tragic this UK Govt decision is; it’s a blight on the history of England….Winston Churchill was so instrumental in helping to create Israel as a nation, to fight Hitler and to stand on principles that were Biblical. His decisions in WW2 protected other nations from invasion as well and he had faith.
This is a quote from Google on his amzing history: ‘Churchill was the most prominent voice warning Britain about the Nazi threat in the 1930s. When he became Prime Minister in May 1940, he rallied the British nation to continue fighting at a time when much of Europe had fallen. He led the United Kingdom alongside the Allies through the duration of the war’…how could the UK sink this far down in banning Winston Churchill’s memory on a pound note and defaming him. (God howver will ahev rewarded his great work to save Israel and toher countries from a dire fate)
