Hedgehogs are among four animals that will replace historic British figures including Sir Winston Churchill on UK banknotes. Sophy Ridge discusses the decision with Wilfred Frost - who is passionately against it. Listen now 🔗

@SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost We have lions that were born in Britain so that makes them every bit as British as hedgehogs. Bigots.

@SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost You can’t make this shit up. Are they ashamed of our history? The UK has one of the richest histories in the world and they want to put hedgehogs on the money?

@SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost At this point all you can do is bury your head in your hands

@SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost Churchill helped save Britain from the Nazis. Alan Turing helped crack Enigma. Jane Austen transformed literature. And now they’re being replaced by a hedgehog and a bumblebee. WTF……….

@SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost Because No-one ever accused hedgehogs of being Far Right, with the added bonus - they are not halal...

@SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost We can appreciate native wildlife without erasing the historic figures who built this nation from our actual banknotes.

@SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost What the hell are we doing here

@SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost About as dumbed down as you can get. Whilst I like hogs, I won’t celebrate binning one of our finest leaders for a Monopoly money look

@SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost churchill lost his spot on the five pound note to a hedgehog, rough week for history

@SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost At this point you may as well put the Palestinian flag on it.
