Without him, probably the most influential and greatest person of the last century, we would be speaking German and not have a multicultural society. \r\n\r\nWe also owe a great debt to Alan Turing a famous mathematician who changed the course of World War 2, who was also gay and poorly treated at the time but is now celebrated. We used to have Florence Nightingale and I remembered her values whenever I saw her figure on the notes.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2026-06-06T05:34:25.112Z","updated_at":"2026-06-26T12:56:38.133Z","rejected_at":"2026-06-26T12:56:38.138Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-06T11:18:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"Banknotes are the responsibility of the Bank of England, which is independent of the Government and Parliament.\r\n\r\nYou can find out how the Bank decides who/what will be on banknotes here:\r\nhttps://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/banknote-characters"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
