Well you could stand outside with a rainbow placard though I suspect with the new Police Bill you will be arrested if you don't move on for distressing homophobes.

More Woke nonsense

He was a leading mathematician, developmental biologist, and a pioneer in the field of computer science. He was also gay, and was treated appallingly as a result. By placing him on our new polymer £50 banknote, we are celebrating his achievements, and the values he symbolises”.

Just because you have no manners.

It gets worse...

Director of GCHQ Jeremy Fleming said: “Alan Turing’s appearance on the £50 note is a landmark moment in our history. Not only is it a celebration of his scientific genius which helped to shorten the war and influence the technology we still use today, it also confirms his status as one of the most iconic LGBT+ figures in the world. Turing was embraced for his brilliance and persecuted for being gay. His legacy is a reminder of the value of embracing all aspects of diversity, but also the work we still need to do to become truly inclusive.”

If you do it quietly and let them pass to get to work, you'll be ok.

In the 15 years that I live in the UK I never had a £50 note, I had a £100 Scottish note though
