Jane Austin

Jane Austin is on the new 10 pound note.
I don't mind her being on the money but did she shouldn't have replaced Charles Darwin.

>The father of atheism vs Supporter of slavery
I know which one I'd pick

>10 pound note
jesus fucking christ how can your money weigh this much

Darwin was religious though.

Gotta get swole just carrying their wallets around.

I had to groan watching TV this morning and they're like "the first note to feature a woman...other than the queen!"

This is what makes headlines.

>pounds
>more weight = worth more
what kind of retard designs a system like this
just use dollars like the rest of the world ffs

You'll get over it. I remember when Charles Dickens was on the tenner. Was a sad day when he was bumped by Darwin.

I'm just glad we have Churchill on the £5. Probably the last person I'd expect in this day and age to be honoured in such a way.

All up we've had some good people on our banknotes; Duke of Wellington, Sir Christopher Wren, Faraday, Shakespeare, Florence Nightingale.

That BS though. When I was a kid a tenner was worth loadsamoney. Had Nightingale on them. Wtf bullshit news were you watching? Probably the beeb, total idiots.

Yes it was the BBC, god they've gone downhill.

no women on burger money my pakistani friend. what do you think about that?

What a surprise, everyone who works there now is literally muslim, gay or disabled. Also just remembered Elizabeth Fry was on the fiver during the 90s.
Seriously how could they not know that???

Also, polymer plastic- not a fan.

Its a good choice desu desu.

sacagawea

I'm sure we'll see Emila Earhart or Harriot Tubman one day

It's just Jane austin seems a step down from Darwin but as the Aussie pointed out people get changed every so often.

> Aussie

Triggered. New Zealander actually. Or Hertfordshire originally.

The old fivers had a woman on them though?

The quote is from one of her characters being sarcastic.

I feel the same way about Tubman replacing Jackson

fucking bring back the 2 dollar bill with her on it, or get rid of Thomas Jefferson, don't touch based Jackson

It's alright, it'll balance out when Charles becomes king anyway.

Also name a book other than Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility that Jane Austen has contributed to our culture.

Elizabeth Fry, yeah.

its disgusting
what about black ppl in british history?
why they cant be on new 10 pound note?
brits are racist asf

>Also name a book other than Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility that Jane Austen has contributed to our culture.

Both of those are shit tier, and people only know of them because of the movies and tv shows.

Northanger abbey and Mansfield park are better

Even I know Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park. Haven't read Emma though.

>what about black ppl in british history?
There is none, it's not a case of like in America where you have the peanut butter guy, we actually have none.

>inb4 Henry VIII was black
No..

There's that one they invented, Mary Seacole. I'm sure it's only a matter of time until pic related is on the notes

The bitch that handed out coconuts to sailors?

This quadroon, basically ran a bar in the Crimea, voted Greatest Black Briton:

My man

>Rev Jesse Jackson
Gee America thanks...

I really don't care.

We have contributed so much to human history that we'll always miss somebody out. First world problems I guess.

I would have preferred Edward Jenner.

"saved more lives than the work of any other human"

>ENGLISH ARE GENOCIDAL AND EVIL IMPERIALISTS!!!
Jenner is a more fitting scientist to replace Darwin, but nope. Some spic bitch and a feminist from Labour decided to pick the only woman they've heard of and stick her on the note for the sack of "representation".

Idiots.

Better suggestions for the £10 note:

1. Bomber Harris
2. Sir Roger Scruton
3. Lt. Col. "H" Jones
4. Roger Moore as James Bond
5. Nigel Farage

My preferences
£5 the Arts- Samuel Pepys
£10 science- Sir Isaac Newton
£20 politics- Lady Margaret Thatcher
£50 historical figure- Richard the Lionheart, leading the Crusades

On the front can have Liz and St George.

Pleb tastes.

King Alfred should be on there somewhere, maybe on the £20 one

Everyone in European history will be black after all literature, artifacts and people who might contradict this belief have been burned.

>£20 politics- Lady Margaret Thatcher
Edgy.

Just to trigger the Northerners. Not that many Scousers or Geordie's would have £20s. Except for the drug dealers.

>I declare that after all there is no joy but reading!
Holy shit, they're /actually/ running with that
