Why is Winston Churchil on the new 5 pound note 3 paragraphs why?

Just because he was a great figure in British history. Various figures who have impacted greatly upon the history of Britain from the world of the arts, sciences, politics and social reform have featured on UK bank notes- I'm unsure who makes the decision as to which people to feature on them, it may be decided by Parliament or maybe the Bank of England- but it's a random decision that is debated and decided upon. Before the Churchill £5 notes, the £5 note featured social reformer Elizabeth Fry, and before her it was the physicist Sir Isaac newton. The decision to put Churchill on the new notes has been greeted with discontent in Wales, as Churchill was notorious for being anti-Welsh and was responsible for the shooting dead of 11 miners during the Tonypandy Riots when he was an MP. Scotland has it's own banknotes, although these are accepted as valid currency in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
