Rejected petition Keep Sir Winston Churchill on the £5 note

We want the government to fully rule out the proposed changes to the £5 note imagery and to confirm that Sir Winston will NOT be removed from the note.

More details

To recognise the history of this nation and to remind everyone that Sir Winston is the reason we are still living in a free country today. He was one of the very few who recognised and stood up to the fascist regime of the Nazis to protect this island and her people. He faced tranny head, on to preserve our way of life, to protect our rights and to protect our freedoms. There is NO just reason as to why Sir Winston is being taken off the £5 note and he should always be respected and admired as one of Britain's finest ever leaders.
