George, George, George you poor deluded fool. You actually believed that the public would take this competition seriously?

I mean come on, giving us a chance to design the new pound coin, that's just asking for trouble...   eveilgrin:

The response is best described by the Huffington Post:

And the Great people of Britain duly responded - only in exactly the opposite way to which old George had hoped...



That's right, we did what we do best and took the piss.

Now I could be mistaken but surely one of the criteria for holding a senior religious post no matter if it is as part of the Christian, Islamic, Jewish hell even Pastafarianism faiths is that, at the very least publicly, your belief in your chosen deity is unshakable.  rubschin:
