Margaret Thatcher could be the new backside of the £50 note
Appropriate: Wouldn’t it be fitting if the Spitting Image dummy of Margaret Thatcher became the model for her appearance on the £50 note – if she ends up winning the vote?
In a way it might be considered reasonable to put Margaret Thatcher on money.
She always wanted to be staring out of our currency – but most of us thought her preference would be to replace the Queen on the front.
If she has to be on a note, it is much more appropriate for her to be staring out of its rear end.
And, considering what certain members of her own party have been said to do with £50 notes, one might even consider it poetic justice.
Former prime minister Margaret Thatcher is among a list of names being considered as the face of the new £50 note.
Baroness Thatcher, who was born in Grantham in Lincolnshire, occupied 10 Downing Street as Conservative leader between 1979 and 1990, making her the UK’s longest-serving leader of the 20th century.
She was also Britain’s first female prime minister.
She died in 2013 but remains a controversial figure of British politics.

hmm are they devaluing the value of a 50 pound note by having such a horrid person on it?
That’s the Tories for you…,human waste
lol piled up to roof level eh?
Wont bother me. ive never seen one and unlikely to do so and if they put her on it i did ever get one I would get it changed very quickly at nearest bank or post office. its not coming in my house.
It should be Stephen £awrence!
Now that‘s an interesting suggestion!
I just found this: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/stephen-lawrence-50-pound-note_uk_5bc5fc51e4b0a8f17ee6383a
To be honest, the £20 would e more appropriate, since more of us are likely to have them.
If she does appear on the back of fifty pound notes, i’m glad not to have the kind of money that would warrant having any.
£50 note? LOL what’s one of them? Makes no difference to me, haven’t seen one for donkeys years!
Just when it couldn’t get any worse…. shivers down my spine
they ought to have the big mouth from Shipley on there as well practicing to be a tory whip
Do you mean we have to look at Thatcher’s backside on our currency – Ughhh? Thank goodness I rarely, if ever, see a £50 note.
