Who should they put on the ten quid note next?

Obviously no one would argue with Churchill being on the new fiver; but if they bring out a plastic tenner who should grace it?

I think a woman would be good and was thinking Thatcher (love her or loathe her) would make an obvious choice.

However I would prefer someone like Sylvia Pankhurst maybe.

Who would you prefer?
Sounds like you'd appreciate this 'street art' that's recently appeared in central Croydon.

The gallery owners that commissioned this work have told me, via twitter, that they know the artist's intent for the work.
 
Here's forty shillings on the drum,
To those who'll volunteer to come,
To 'list and fight the foe, today
Over the hills and far away.

O'er the hills and o'er the main,
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain,
King George commands and we obey,
Over the hills and far away.

When duty calls me, I must go
To stand and face another foe,
But part of me will always stray,
O'er the hills and far away.

If I should fall to rise no more,
As many comrades did before,
Then ask the fifes and drums to play,
Over the hills and far away.

O'er the hills and o'er the main,
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain,
King George commands and we obey,
Over the hills and far away.

Then fall in lads, behind the drum,
With colours blazing like the sun,
Along the road to come what may,
Over the hills and far away.

O'er the hills and o'er the main,
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain,
King George commands and we obey,
Over the hills and far away

You've managed to use obviously/obvious twice in one quote when the people you use in that context are far from obvious at all.

Knew when to shoot an officer too, a true national hero. Killed a Dutch Prince too, what more could you want on a tenner?

I've had a few of the new fivers out of the machine down the road and images that should be burnt in effigy aside they are small and feel like money from some deluxe version of monopoly.
