Rejected petition Posthmous Knighthood for Alan TURING

More details

Alan Turing's work at Bletchley Park during World War II is commonly believed to have saved thousands of lives and shortened the war by two years. If he had not been a gay man and lived in today's society he would undoubtedly have received a Knighthood from his grateful country.

I petition that this government should redress that error and grant him one posthumously
