Rejected petition Award Alan Turing a posthumous Knighthood

More details

Alan Turing should be honoured with a posthumous knighthood that recognizes what a great man he was; there is no doubt that if Turing had lived past age 41 his international impact would have been great and that he likely would have received a knighthood while alive. Please honour this great man with the proper recognition that his achievements deserve.
There is no reason not to award a knighthood to someone who has died, the legacy of his work lives on in the work of many people, and Britain should be rightly proud of this.
