UK Prime Minister apologises for Turing's prosecution

Alan Turing was a brilliant mathematician and computer pioneer, widely known because of his outstanding contribution on breaking the German Enigma codes during World War 2.

In 1952 he was convicted of 'gross indecency' after admitting a sexual relationship with a man, and chemically castrated. He committed suicide in prison.

Three weeks ago, the first action I performed with my newly acquired rights as a British citizen was to sign the petition asking the UK government to apologise for Turing's prosecution.

As a gay man, IT professional and British citizen I accept Gordon Brown's apology and I remain as ever proud of my country.

Deep in the forest lived Billy and his charming companions. They peacefully honed their bodies and listened to music there. But a wave of development came upon the forests. One who would turn all to road. Kagamine Rin had come. Billy must stop the construction before all is turned to road.
