Petition to put Alan Turing on the next £10 note

I think I speak for everyone here when I say that Turing's bill should be a power of two. I think Turing should get a £5.12 bill.

"Turing's homosexuality resulted in a criminal prosecution in 1952, when homosexual acts were still illegal in the United Kingdom. He accepted treatment with female hormones (chemical castration) as an alternative to prison. He died in 1954, just over two weeks before his 42nd birthday, from cyanide poisoning. An inquest determined it was suicide"<p>"On 10 September 2009, following an Internet campaign, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for the way in which Turing was treated after the war."<p>Putting him on the money would further the apology.

The Bank of England already has him on their list of candidates.<p><a href="http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/Documents/about/banknote_names.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/Documents/about/ban...</a>

I'm not sure what the point in this petition is: surely responsibility for the design and circulation of currency lies solely with the Bank of England and not HM Treasury?

what's wrong with Darwin?

I would prefer if Darwin remained on the £10 note and Turing was put on the £5 note instead.

Why is this a petition?

I think this comes with particular weight after this... <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17405016" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17405016</a>
