Alan Turing To Be On New £50 Note

Alan Turing To Be On New £50 Note
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."

Maybe if you gave the Turing on this £50 Note bitch tits like Turing ended up getting in real life it would have been (seriously, when I saw The Imitation Game, I considered the distinct lack of bitch tits to be the film's major flaw: what a perfect visual metaphor for how unnatural society's attempts at reining in Turing's sexuality is, and it's accurate to the historical record to boot! Sure, Jonathan softened the language when I reviewed it for Anglotopia, but I think it still shines through when you read it.)

We still haven't taken a genocidal maniac off our $20. We cant have a black lady on our money, especially one who helped slaves escape.

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.
