Alan Turing, World War Two codebreaker and mathematician, will be the face of new Bank of England £50 note

His honour long denied. This is a poor consolation for the disrespect he was shown, but it is one anyway. Seems like a poor choice from an anti-forgery perspective. Normally they go for complicated-looking faces (facial hair, periwigs, elaborate hats etc). Turing has very broad, plain features.
