Who should be on the new £50?

[brizzledrizzle]

I expect it will be Stephen Hawking but who do you think it should be?

A female scientist (plenty to chose from, they have to be deceased though) would be good for a change.

Me!

As a non-white Brit whose British credentials are longer than a lot of ‘White Brits’, I would like to see someone like me. E.g. Marie Seacole or Noor Inayat Khan or Malala Yousefzai (who represents the best things about British immigration) or another non-white British female.

No idea but watching with interest.

Maybe that 'spreadsheet' Phil or whatever he's called?

Since it has to be a dead scientist I’d like to see Alan Turing or Rosalind Franklin.

I’d like it to be Alan Turing.

Gotta be a scientist, though.
Rosalind Franklin? Known for her role in siacovering the structure of DNA and work in X-ray diffraction. Died tragically young.

I think it will probably be Stephen Hawking too and I have no problem with that, he was severely disabled as well as being a brilliant, world famous scientist.
But Turing would also be good.

I'm also for either Alan Turing or Rosalind Franklin, or John Edmonstone.

Alan Turing or Stephen Hawking

They need to be deceased and a scientist
I think Ada Lovelace, Mary Anning, Rosalind Franklin or Mary Seacole - I think perhaps though that Mary Seacole would overlap too much with Florence Nightingale.
I have suggested Ada.

It would be nice to see this used as an opportunity to bring lesser known scientists to the forefront.

Stephen Hawking. He was a decent chap, and a great scientist who made it accessible and understandable to the everyperson on the street.

Also, I know many people would like to see a change from the usual white straight male faces, but I think his own significant disabilities make him a good representative for the less privileged and abled.

Alan Turing would get my vote. Firstly, and most importantly, because he deserves it and secondly as a symbolic gesture to show how far we have moved on in tackling prejudice and discrimination.

Ada Lovelace.

Mary Somerville.

Rosalind Franklin - because the men tried to write her out of history.

I'd like Rosalind Franklin or Alan Turing.

Nobody. Other countries get around all this angst by having well known landmarks instead. For example Danish kroner have bridges on.

But Mary Anning would be a good person. Or Grace Darling.

I know Grace Darling wasn't a scientist. Why does it have to be a scientist?

Eric Morecambe or Stan Laurel.

Stephen Hawking or Alan Turing.
