Farewell Britainnia

No kidding; bye-bye.

Gordon Brown's campaign to promote British values has been exposed as a sham after it was revealed he personally approved a decision to remove Britannia from the 50p coin.

The patriotic symbol - based on a Roman goddess - will no longer be on any British coin for the first time in more than 300 years, as part of a redesign by the Royal Mint.

I like some of their options in so far as being in line with modern Britain, the camera will do.

Hat tip ninme.
