Alan Turing - A short blog post for a man with a huge world impact

A very welcome apology for Alan Turing. Now maybe they'll apollogise for all the others prosecuted for the same "crime". As well as apologising for all the other volumes of terrible things done in the name of this country.

The world is incalculably better because of Alan Turing (you are reading this blog on what is at it's heart a Turing Machine), but the world lacks all of the incredible things that he would have brought to it because he was persecuted and died too young. Think of that, those that persecuted and prosecuted him robbed the world of all that he would have brought to us.

Please think about that (yes you the Daily Mail readers) next time you bully someone, think what they won't achieve that they might have if you'd just left them be.
