They are looking for SCIENTISTS to feature on the new note. A shortlist has been drawn up and I think Turing is a good shout as is Hawking but I cannot overlook Lovelace. My concern is what the fuck is Thatcher doing on the shortlist ???? Its about contributions to science and on that basis she has no basis to be on the shortlist at all !!

Given that I've always thought £50 notes are mainly for posh southerners, they presumably thought they'd like Thatcher so they could use it as an expensive jizz rag?

Genuinely no idea how anyone really though one of the most obviously divisive figures in British politics would be a good idea tbh. Whether you like her or not, everyone is fully aware that quite a large percentage of people have pretty strong feelings about her that aren't exactly positive... That's before you even get into the fairly obvious fact that she wasn't a scientist

Not for me. He was kind of a dick. Hard for many to believe but old folks, handicapped and midgets/dwarves/little people can be real fucking arseholes just like everyone else.

Turing as a compromise but it should be Hawking, best mind the human race has ever produced and overcame disability to do it.
 
For me its Turing for his wartime contribution or Lovelace for her contribution to computing before it was computing as it were
I love the Turing vote as the UK treated the lad like shit and owe him an apology, but it's Hawking for me.
Don't see why Lovelace is in the debate, respect her achievements but they both put her in the shade.
