Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News,The UK's own Cabinet Office pushed hard to overhaul banknotes by elevating LGBT+ and ethnic minority figures, claiming historic greats like Winston Churchill gave an "incomplete picture" of British identity. This push came just before the Bank of England decided to ditch those same towering historical figures for images of hedgehogs and foxes.This latest revelation exposes the ideological machinery at work inside Whitehall. While the public recoiled at the idea of swapping national heroes for animals, government officials were actively lobbying for even more radical identity-driven changes.In a letter to the Bank of England's chief cashier last summer, officials from the Office for Equality and Opportunity - part of the Cabinet Office and led by Bridget Phillipson - argued that current historical figures reflected "limited dimensions of British identity." They called for "greater representation of women, disabled people, ethnic minority communities and LGBT+ individuals" to "send a strong signal of progress and recognition."Alan Mendoza and former Glasgow City Councilor Austin Sheridan react as the Cabinet Office urge the inclusion of LGBT and ethnic minority communities on banknotes. pic.twitter.com/IWvkZtuL3V
