this either puts a dent in- or encourages the David Stickes of the world to rabbit on about the grand 'pedo conspiracy'.
I agree with JK. forgiving him now is about as sane as the condemnations of the late Sir James Savile OBE and the demands his knighthood be taken away

What about all the other people who were also judged and convicted??
honey!oh sugar sugar.
How can he be pardoned when he broke the law at the time ? (however daft it was) Or am I muxed ip?

Agreed CP but the fair point is... why is this still going on? Using Paedo instead of Homo but precisely the same bigotry, unfairness, laziness, corruption, bent cops, blind judges, stupid media?

Whilst I agree I am pleased that they have pardoned him. The way this genius was treated by the Govt then was absolutely disgraceful after all the work he did for his country during the war. In my view Alan Turing is up there with the greatest of men.
