Small nitpick: > the abhorrent treatment of Alan Turning by the British Government. What the British Government did to him reflected what the people who elected that government thought at the time; it was in-line with the moral and civic expectations of the time. It is just that for all us it is often easier to blame the government than to admit the culture of the people of a time or place was at fault. This issue is all the most jarring in writing: government X that is democratically elected does something bad (e.g. spies on its citizens or invades Iraq), and then writers, who are culture-makers, blame the government wholly instead of being more equitable and handing some blame to Joe Plumber, voter, as well.
