Sir Winston Churchill to feature on new banknote

Jimbuna · 04-26-13, 08:04 AM

Not before time...this honour should have been given years ago.

Quote:

Sir Winston Churchill will feature on the new design of a banknote which will enter circulation in 2016, the Bank of England has announced.
The wartime leader's image is planned to feature on the reverse of the new £5 note, together with one of his most celebrated quotations.

Please let it be the one to Nancy Astor OR the one to Bessie Braddock.

Although I feel I'm going to be very disappointed on this.

That's good.

Better service would be to replace the toy "money" there is with actual value money backed by gold, silver, or whatever it is. Banknotes today are no storage checks for value stored by the banks, but are uncovered debt bonds. Who cares whether they are red, yellow or green?

One of the reasons why so many people do not run around in panic and storm the banks is that people just do not understand what money really is. The states have destroyed real money, and replaced it with a complex system allowing political actors to rob and steal both from the present (taxes) and future (debts).

Guys, do yourself a favour and read here (LINK)

Roughly 100 pages on ly, and fast to read. But best book there is on the real nature of money, and how the state had perverted it - and how this has crippled the modern world.

And it is free to download, legal, no costs.

I thought that the gold market had been cornered by shape-shifting illuminati Trotskyists out to cause the collapse of civilisation and the return of the Corn Laws? Or have you changed your mind: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...highlight=gold

The one story does not contradict the other. And your pathetic rethoric will not provide you with a valid cause.

The artwork will also include:

Churchill's declaration "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat" which came in a speech in the Commons on 13 May 1940

So, Churchill.....

Sometimes I think about coming back to you all. Then I read this sort of thing and see that you are still arguing about nothing at all. Winston Churchill deserves a place in memoriam. I don't care what you think about the worth of paper money. For the love of all that is good, learn to turn it off once in awhile. Jesus H. Christ.

I used to like this place, you know.

An old girlfriend of mine being here and having read over my shoulder just told me her nice summary of what the difference is between real (value) money and the toilet paper we have today.

Imagine a little kid playing with a small goldnugget it grabs with its fist. Then father state comes and takes the nugget in his own hand and makes a fist around it and holds the fist to the kid. And kid points at the fist with a finger, and the fist opens and there it is , there is the gold nugget.

Then father states says: "Why playing with one hand only when you can play with so many more and it costs you nothing?", and he lets the gold nugget disappear in one hidden pocket, and then shows the kid the original hand turned into a fist and the other seven hands his many octopus arms have, and there the eight fists are, and the kid points at all of them.

But all eight fists still are empty, not a single gold nugget nowhere.

The game is not about the number of empty fists. It should be about the number of nuggets. But that has been forgotten.

So, Winston Churchill is to appear on the back of the £5 note from 2016.

Well, I for one shall spend them on the beaches.
