Do you want to know something interesting about the decision to remove Winston Churchill, Alan Turing and Jane Austen from bank notes?

Savanta, a market research company, was chosen to run a focus group.

The result of that focus group is that Churchill was “divisive”, Turing “an imperialist” and Austen “contentious and not representative”.

Yet that focus group had only 119 people in it.

And only one person called Turing “imperialist”. Someone who probably did not even know that he was not only instrumental in the Allies winning WW2 but was a gay man who was chemically castrated to “cure him”.

Turing was left fat, flabby and so unhappy that he carefully injected cyanide into an apple and ate it. He was found with half the apple by his side.

The Bank of England claims that the focus group was only part of its decision and it ran a broader public inquiry that favoured animals and flowers. Who did they ask? Primary school kids?
