Enigma codebreaker Alan Turing to be given posthumous pardon
Although I have no particular objection, I'm not big on posthumous pardons.
I'd rather Turing be given an extraordinary honor, e.g., a posthumous
award of a hereditary peerage, making him superior to his brother
(Sir John Leslie Turing, 11th Baronet of Forevan). Or the Order of
the Garter, the highest order of chivalry, previously bestowed on
Churchill and Thatcher.
I have no clue about what's possible and what's involved. But I'm
looking for a grand, unmistakable gesture.
