[Liverpool] Knight Turing?

[Simon Johnson]

Does anyone think that rather than being sorry for the treatment of Alan
Turing, the government should knight him?

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!

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?

Cheers,

Simon
