Put Alan Turing on the next £10 note

[xxMATTGxx]

I came across this the other day but I thought I would post about it on here:


Alan Turing is a national hero. His contribution to computer science, and hence to the life of the nation and the world, is incalculable. The ripple-effect of his theories on modern life continues to grow, and may never stop.

The current Bank of England £10 notes are Series E, but Series F notes are already in circulation for some denominations. We therefore call upon the Treasury to request the Bank of England to consider depicting Alan Turing when Series F £10 banknotes are designed.

Most definitely signed the petition, been studying him a lot in college recently and his contribution to computer science is endless!

I support this wholeheartedly and know all about Mr. Turing! He is a legend.

You don't have to. Think of it as Darwin has had his turn and now someone else can have a go :P It's only fair!

Not only did he do wonders for computer science/mathematics he also played a very major role in helping the allies win World War II. He's a true British icon.

I signed this petition, he definitely deserves it.
