UK computer history gets new home

Enough kudos to them - if there is a publicly-funded British National Museum of Computing, I think it's likely to be at Bletchley Park. Since I live locally to (less than 5 miles from) Bletchley Park, I often read of events there covered in the local paper. A (fairly unique slate) statue to Turing was recently unveiled and featured on the front page of the Citizen. I was disappointed to read praise of his wartime efforts but no mention of how he was subsequently hounded to suicide. I feel this to be a series of events of which we should all be ashamed and equal in signifiance to his mathematical achievements, yet half a century later it is still swept under the carpet. :( Stroller.
