No Waking Kiss
Earlier today, a friend remarked that UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s apology for the UK government’s deeply unjust treatment of Alan Turing was “not good enough”.
Perhaps not. There is no apology that can mend the deep injustices of the past. There is no kiss that can wake Alan Mathison Turing from the poison apple’s eternal sleep.
However, this isn’t about the unchangeable past. This is about the future.
#10‘s statement on Turing was catalyzed by one person (and hats off to you, John Graham-Cumming for being the sand in the oyster.) One person and then tens of thousands of others who embrace justice. That, my dear friends, is getting closer to enough.
