Do not put Margaret Thatcher on the new 50 pound note.
Margaret Thatcher is a controversial and widely disliked figure, taxpayers money should not be wasted on using a figure hated by a significant number of UK taxpayers. This honour should go to a more beloved, influential figure, that everyone can agree on, such as Aneurin Bevan or Shakespeare.
