Churchill to Be Removed From UK Banknotes in Cash Redesign

According to a stinging barb from Donald Trump, Britons are being led by a Prime Minister who is no Winston Churchill. Soon they will have to cope without the popular wartime leader on their banknotes too.

The cigar-toting mid-century Conservative is making way for creatures like hedgehogs and badgers. That’s because the next generation of pound notes will feature wildlife native to the UK, according to the Bank of England, after half a century in which that status was reserved for historical figures including Churchill and Jane Austen.
