highly not OK to Turing's memory

There is no doubt Turing was a war hero and a very high ranked scientific and computer scientist.

In fact, probably the best of the century.

But seeing the UK state put his name and face on a money note, after what they did to him, really ?

This is indecency and insult at its highest level. I know for sure I wouldn't want my name in a state money note if my state had done 10% of what was done to him, because of his sexual orientation.

Apologies (of the Queen or whoever else) don't count, FFS. The dude was pushed to suicide !

WTF, UK ???? You've clearly lost it entirely !
