FINALLY. To the people who are downing this, get over it. Without Turing and his efforts we'd all be speaking German, and certainly not having this discussion or looking at this site. I really hope now that they've addressed this issue they can finally give Bletchley Park the attention it deserves, since they don't have to worry about drawing attention to this huge mistake any longer.

TuringFans: He was harassed, verbally abused, sacked, and denied credit for his work, even though it was crucial to winning the war. UKPM1: PERHAPS YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT A PROBLEM? TuringFans: That's what we're trying to do! UKPM1:...
