I'm pretty sure, though not absolutely certain, that *pardon* was extended to
everyone later.

Just got home from watching Imitation Game - quite a good film, Cumberbatch
is excellent as always. I thought the pardon was a wunnerful thang. It was done
as a "royal prerogative of mercy" which just goes to show Her Starchiness does
have some practical use in today's UK?

Re "The Imitation Game to watch with my daughter and her mom":
It mentions at the end of the film that Alan Turing has recently been pardoned
(a Royal Pardon, no less) for his conviction for homosexual indecent acts.
That's just the kind of headline-grabbing, liberal hand-wringing that drives me
nuts. My grievance is that if the argument is that being gay is no longer a
crime so we should posthumously and retrospectively pardon those convicted
under the old law then why single out Turing? Surely *everyone* convicted under
the old legal framework deserves a reprieve?
There's also the issue that we are all well aware that they did things
differently in Olde England. To revisit the past and apply contemporary
standards to old judgements is pointless. We wouldn't have forcibly deported
someone to Australia for stealing a loaf of bread, but so what? There's
something tiresomely self-congratulatory about these revisions. It's
advertising to the world how tolerant and well-intentioned you are.

Tonight I am taking a DVD of the Imitation Game to watch with my daughter and
her mom - Daughter is a BIG fan of Benedict Cumberbatch, or Benedict Cumberbund
as I usually call him, much to her annoyance.
