And It's About Bloody Time
Quote:Former Manchester MP and gay rights campaigner John Leech, who campaigned for Alan Turing's pardon, said: "This is a fitting and welcome tribute to a true Manchester hero.
"But more importantly I hope it will serve as a stark and rightfully painful reminder of what we lost in Turing, and what we risk when we allow that kind of hateful ideology to win."

I get mad when I think about how there is a genocidal fuckwad on our money here in America. I was born and raised close to his plantation, and everything is named after him there. It made me sick. I am truly jealous that my country isn't doing cool shit like that.
