Changing bank note designs

This is something that seems to have caused a lot of hoo-ha, the design changes every 10 years, usually with someone different put on them, after a public consultation wildlife was the favourite to replace humans. I don't have a problem with this, but the political right do, with Farage saying replacing Churchill with a badger is a load of woke nonsense, I saw an interview with Churchills grand daughter who said the family were asked before his image was used and were told it would be for 10 years and they had no problem with it changing. Some people are getting het up about there being no women, so I'm guessing female wildlife dosen't count? lol.

I dont' know what they're going to put on each note, but I'd like to see an oak tree on one, not only are they historically significant, but one oak tree supports around 2,000 other species. I'd like to see red squirrels too and Scottish Wildcats.

What about you, what would you like to see and do you have any issues with the changes to bank notes?

  • I was still deciding so hadn't actually voted yet so I felt a bit guilty when you said it was hard. I think currently I'm at: 

    • Pine Martin
    • Red Fox
    • Eurasian Curlew
    • Basking shark
    • Common frog
    • Marsh fritillary 

    It's pretty hard though and I'd love to see any of them. 

    But I know what you mean, whenever I vote for things like this, my choices are never the popular winning ones! On Springwatch last night, I was a little disappointed that the favourite butterfly was voted as peacock, I had voted speckled wood! (Which came 11th britainsfavouritebutterfly.co.uk/)


    UPDATE:
    I didn't know it was just two from each section, and had a change of heart for some too, so in the end it was:
    Pine Martin, Hare, Curlew, Kingfisher, Frog and Marsh Fritillary.
