Perhaps unclear thoughts should just not be expressed at all. <br /><br />The PM's speech was indeed moving and significant.

Would you like to see the P.M. commit hara-kari live on the BBC? Or, since it's probable that all of Turing's persecutors and prosecutors are dead by now, should we dig up their rotting corpses and let them hang for the next 20 years over the gates of London, as was actually done at the Restoration with that of Russ Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722260145543178087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691183065268280579.post-30949680591346070942012-01-06T19:28:29.452-07:002012-01-06T19:28:29.452-07:00Russ,

Necessary but not sufficient gestures. <br /><br />But, can I have milk with those cookies?

Britain is far, far, far ahead of our country on gay rights in every direction, and as the story says, the Prime Minister officially apologized on behalf of H. M. Government in 2009 for the way Turing was treated sixty years ago. How do you get "makes it OK" out of all that?<br /><br />Mmm, Russ Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722260145543178087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691183065268280579.post-72102519357795084542012-01-06T12:46:40.553-07:002012-01-06T12:46:40.553-07:00Sad what came before but heart-warming to learn wh...Sad what came before but heart-warming to learn what has followed!Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691183065268280579.post-84034498607491474362012-01-06T09:11:49.125-07:002012-01-06T09:11:49.125-07:00Treat you like crap.
