Am-I the only one that finds is odd how the British government brags about Alan Turing after what they did to him?

The man saved women, men, children, of all races and orientations from an horrible end. I wish the British government had extended the favor to Turing himself.

Nobody's above being cancelled, that's what happens when righteous people set to work. They know best and are willing to educate society by example.
