Bletchley Park Faces Financial Rescue

Posted by timothy on from the admirable-work-deserves-commemoration dept.

biscuitfever11 writes "Just two months ago it seemed that Bletchley Park, the home of Station X, Britain's secret code-breaking base during the War, was doomed as the codebreakers' huts rotted and the site fell into disrepair. But today Britain's Lottery Fund is set to step in with a grant to rescue the ailing heritage site. (There was an earlier story on ZDNet.)"

    What, the huts were persecuted for being gay by the police until they hanged themselves?

    I don't recall them saying that on the tour

    It makes complete sense.

    1. Lament that exploiting the peoples lack of choice is illegal
    2. Find a way of making people chose to be exploited
    3. Point out that it's completely legal
    4. Profit!!
