Justice Minister Lord McNally dismissed the motion in the House of Lords.

"A posthumous pardon was not considered appropriate as Alan Turing was properly convicted of what at the time was a criminal offence," he said.

There are several things wrong with this.

Firstly, and quite evidently to any sane person, treating homosexuality as a crime is patently wrong.

Selective reporting does not give the entire picture.

The case was made specifically to pardon Alan Turning. Why, just him? I understand that test cases are soemtimes necessary, but surely a class action or whatever it is called in the UK would be a more appropriate way?

And, as I know he reads this, a message to Lord McNally, a pardon is not an acquittal or an overturn of the original "conviction" so why does he feel that it is re-writing history. Come on McNally, stick your neck out take a chance, suck it and see, so to speak.
