Do not remove historical figures from UK Banknotes

Do not remove historical figures from UK Banknotes — 13 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

The Bank of England proposes to replace banknote depictions of major national historical figures with depictions of wildlife - not one of the species being even unique to our country. The government must not allow this act of cultural self-harm, self-hatred & self-erasure to proceed.
