Following Brown's apology in behalf of Britain to Alan Turing, this poem by Matt Harvey on the Beeb:

    POEM: Alan Turing

    here’s a toast to Alan Turing
    born in harsher, darker times
    who thought outside the container
    and loved outside the lines
    and so the code-breaker was broken
    and we’re sorry
    yes now the s-word has been spoken
    the official conscience woken
    – very carefully scripted but at least it’s not encrypted –
    and the story does suggest
    a part 2 to the Turing Test:
    1. can machines behave like humans?
    2. can we?


Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Truly he didn't get the credit he deserved. Kinda like Tesla.
