<div>Does anyone think that rather than being sorry for the treatment of Alan Turing, the government should knight him?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>He is to Computer Science what Newton is to Physics; he gave us the mathematics with which we could understand programs. We shouldn't just be sorry, we should recognise him for what he was: one of the greatest scientists of all time!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm putting a letter together that is addressed to the Prime Minister asking Turing to be knighted. Who'd be willing to counter-sign it?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
