Gordon Brown has issued a posthumous apology to Alan Turing, a great mathematician and father of modern computer science. He was also gay, found guilty of gross indecency after WWII was over, and chemically castrated. It was horrific treatment for which an apology was richly deserved, even if it’s much too late for Turing to hear it himself. It’s a good statement, so nice work to England for doing this. I look forward to the time when this kind of thing is an even more distant memory.
