Alan Turing Apology Campaign Grows
chrb writes "Several British news sources have recently reported on the growing campaign that calls for an apology to Alan Turing for his persecution by the British government. The petition to the Prime Minister was started by John Graham-Cumming, who has also written to the Queen requesting a Knighthood for Turing, but admits that a pardon is 'unlikely,' saying, 'The most important thing to me is that people hear about Alan Turing and realize his incredible impact on the modern world, and how terrible the impact of prejudice was on him.'"
Isn't Beckham's first name "Bendit"?

My barber and butcher is the same person, he just flips the apron. I am too nervous there to ask any questions :(
Be lenient. He might on the other hand know Beckham's first name (frankly, I don't).

It's never a good time to be an atheist.

Simple test: Can a politician can deliver a heart felt apology for mistakes made by the British Government and convince someone hearing it that its actually sincere.
In 50 years nobody has passed the test, I won't hold be holding my breath for this one.

All this apology does is elevate one person above all the other countless people that would also deserve apologies.
Yeah, you're right - I'm sorry about that.

We apologise for the prosecution of the homosexual Alan Turing. Those responsible have been sacked.

Oh and all women should apologize to men for taking that apple.
There were no women in his life. That's why the government gave him so much hate, and he eventually ate that apple.
No, Bendit is only similar to Beckham.
Trust a slashdotter to skew the conversation around to robotic life partners eventually.
