After Che Guevara, who is next to be on a stamp?

I WENT into the post office and they were gone. Completely. Che Guevara had sold out, writes Colm O’Regan

After Che Guevara, who is next to be on a stamp?

Not for the first time in his death. I think the pinnacle of Che Guevara merchandise was when he was on T-shirts in Penneys. Although, in fairness, the T-shirts were probably made in Vietnam, so there was a certain solidarity between countries invaded by America. This time, it was Che Guevara stamps, marking the 50th anniversary of his death at the hands of Bolivian soldiers.

While the debate rages about whether he should be on a stamp or not, I prefer to discuss who is next. I don’t mean who is next to be executed by the Bolivians, but who is next to be on a stamp.
