Alan Turing finally pardoned.


And now I really feel like watching Breaking the Code again. Alas I must work on my novel instead.

Oh, about bloody time! I've been reading Peter Wright's book "Spycatcher" (he was deputy head of MI5 at his retirement in 1975) and he describes Turing as a brilliant man.
Didn't know there was a movie about his work, I'll have to hunt that one up. It's fascinating, the work carried out by the codebreakers.
