Dr Turing, a "genius" mathematician, was a codebreaker at Bletchley Park, where he invented the machine which cracked the Enigma codes used by German U-boats in the Atlantic. Historians believe his work may have shortened the war by two years.
I could point thousands of injustices in the early twentieth century alone, but this one is in the news. Could you imagine accomplishing what he did for his country, just to have your country turn around and treat you like this? Horrid.
