Rejected petition Put Enoch Powell on the £50 note.

Rejected on 18 December 2018

There's been much debate over who should be on the new fifty pound note.
I believe that now, more than ever, we need to remember our history and one of the most influential politicians.
With the rise of immigration across Europe, it would be wise to put his face on the fifty pound note.

Never forget history, learn from those that past and we'll build a better future.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Bank notes are the responsibility of the Bank of England, which is independent of the Government and Parliament.
