Alan Turing Hero

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2014)

I have yet to see the new film ' The Imitation Game', but my admiration for Alan Turing goes back many years. I truly believe that his contribution to the winning of WWII in Europe was greater than that of any other single individual. I also believe that the way he was treated by the British Government, after the war, due to his being a homosexual, was absolutely disgraceful.
I have recently read that there is now some question regarding his ' suicide'. Apparently he had some interest in deadly poisons and questions have arisen as to whether his death may have been accident. Of course that could provide a reasonable excuse to relieve the guilt that may be felt by the State for its appalling treatment of a true hero.
