I have just learnt that UK government is going to remove Britannia from the 50 pence coin.

What complete and utter bollocks! I can’t believe that yet *another* British icon is being savaged by the political correctness brigade!!

Over 30,000 people have protested against the change, I wonder how many people have complained about Britannia in the past?!

With every passing day England is turning into a PG-rated country, what the bloody hell is next on the list? Perhaps we should change the Union Jack to a beige non-descript flag, so as to make sure that it doesn’t offend anyone?!

Not sure I like them, I like the fact that each of the old coins was unique and had it’s own story…
