Re: [mukto-mona] Gay mathematician gets royal pardon



I just did a Google search on the matter and found out that at least two of the British Prime Ministers, namely, Churchill and Heath were alleged to be gay.  Also recently , the deputy premier of the presently serving Govt. was alleged in Canada looking for prostitutes.  I suppose, Dr. Rahman has done no homework before claiming British politicians as highly moral species.

No British Prime Minister had ever any illegal sexual activities; but can you say that of American Presidents? There was an American President, by the name Bill Clinton, who used to have sexual activities with his internee in the White House, am I right?

You know why the Sun did not set in the British empire? As the saying went, even God was afraid of being sodomized by the Brits in the dark!

So, Brits have perfect excuse to be bad and unapologetic because Americans are even worse? That sounds to me very childish.

One must realise that Alan Turing broke the law as it was in existence in 1952. So he was convicted and castrated, not imprisoned, as per his wish. 

Now 50 or so years later that law has been changed and Alan Turing, a brilliant British mathematician, had been granted pardon retrospectively and it is the most decent thing the British government and the British Royalty can do.

The same high standards and magnanimity cannot be assigned to America. When scores of people from across the globe had been kidnapped and imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay on suspicion of terrorism and many of them had been found to be totally innocent, American government did not come up and apologised to them and compensated them for the injustice. When millions of blacks had been mistreated, segregated and denied opportunities in 1950s and 1960s, American government did not compensate them. 

So, one should not throw stone while living in a glass house!

   I really think Sukhamay hit on the right point .  What 'pardon'?  --  The British Govt. should be paying compensation to Alan Turin . . .

I have serious problems with the words, "pardon" and "amnesty", when they are applied to victims and fighters of injustice.
 
Alan Turing did not do any crime, and he did not need any 'pardon'. The British government did a gross injustice to him in 1952 by castrating him. The British government and their royalty are the ones that needed pardoning by him (his departed soul or his family), not the other way around. Obviously, the British have not yet gotten civilized enough to seek an unconditional pardon from him, and are talking the nonsense of pardoning him instead.
