    Yes UK murdered their greatest war hero, utterly destroying him and driving him to suicide by insane inhumane treatment based on superstition. But despite the awful treatment of him, he remained faithful to the system.

      Do you support UK military infrastructure being used secretly to aide Israel’s ‘war’ in Gaza? Would you be happy contributing to that system?

            I just show you how easy it is to ask stupid whataboutism questions.
            If you have a point, you could make it, instead of asking stupid questions.

              My point is that you seem to believe the people working for the organisation should be happy to work for the military and you seemed to be unable to comprehend why they could be unhappy. I was trying to give you some perspective but that seems to have gone right over your head.

                Your “perspective” may have been well meant, but to me it reeked of parroting Russian propaganda.
                Also I get that people used to not want to work for the military. Peace in our time and all that. What civilized person wouldn’t want that?
                But for me that changed when Russia invaded Ukraine again. We cannot afford to just stand by while Russia has their way, and China is waiting in the back to see how it goes.
                Europe needs to be able to defend itself against aggressors I too thought were a thing of the past. And Europe is working together to achieve that goal.
                And people who see the military as some sort of establishment that is the enemy can go fuck themselves IMO.
                AND it remains against everything Turing stood for. So maybe they shouldn’t work at a place that honors his memory.
                But you just go ahead and defend the childishly naive if you want to. But don’t expect the least bit of respect from me for tramping all over the memory of Turing, who was an admirable person in every way.
