I'd like to see Fred Sanger on it, but Turing or Lovelace would be pretty drat good too.

Edit: I feel like Franklin and Turing are too iconic in a way. They're pretty much the the go-to examples of "women scientists you really should know". I'd much rather see someone like Dorothy Hodgkins who achieved much better recognition during her lifetime, but has completely dropped out of public awareness, even among the IFLS crowd.

As much as I wish this was true so we could joke about how she stole milk from children twice, it's not. She was working in a lab where other scientists were working on it but didn't have anything to do with it herself.

Ada Lovelace would be a great choice for the £50.

Kid's blasting everything in sight with that new-fangled musket.


A former PM re-entering the Commons and especially wanting a minister job feels like an odd move to me. Blair and Cameron (until now) hosed off entirely, Brown sat as a backbencher for a term but didn't stand in 2015. I don't remember what happened to Major/Thatcher, or anyone prior.

I was thinking idly in the shower this morning, how different would things be if Labour had won a few extra seats, been the largest party in 2010 and we'd got a LibLab coalition instead? Cameron would presumably have followed the convention of defeated leaders stepping down which might have left the Tories without a credible leader again (BoJo lol) but we almost certainly wouldn't have seen Labour move as far to the left as they have in the past few years. Might have averted the UKIP rise based on the government not blaming everything on immigrants (if Brown had the courage to call out bigoted women for what they are) and thus no referendum. Or maybe we'd have just got Full Tory in 2015 and things would be just as poo poo as they are now, maybe worse.

Thatcher slithered into the Lords and started working for big tobacco, Major spent a while on the backbenches until resignation.

The press would still be blaming everything on immigrants and the EU, because the alternative would have been blaming everything on the failure of late liberal capitalism.

A center-left government would have been unable to mount a credible alternative to that.

Lib Dem interference might have stopped Brown from banning everything that he couldn't spell, but they'd probably demand some orange bookish changes to the post-crash economy, which would have only wound up the squeezed middle more.

Or maybe they'd have folded on everything for a few cabinet positions in DEFRA and Culture.

It's an OK read, but pretty :rolleyes: when it comes to FG's "missteps". Coveney or Varadkar reiterating their party line (which calls for Irish reunification) is not new information, whether or not the DUP decide to cry about it can't really be helped, and they can't be appeased by anything short of dead Catholics in the street so gently caress em
