Surprised he didn't blame it all on the Tories - as they were in power at the time of his conviction and death.

I'd guess the guys pulling Brownstuffs strings are hoping for that sort of subliminal connection.

What right does he have to offer an apology to Alan Turing anyway?

Totally pro gay rights, me, nobody else's business what people get up to in private. However, GB sticking up for a gay bloke has turned me into a raging batty man basher. Anything GB thinks or says must be wrong.

OI !

Anything on chutney spoons or 'this would never have happened under the Tories'?

I don't think the CUK congregation has holidayed in the Telegraph forums yet.

I see the comments are going well...

Give me back my pension.

Stop talking drivel.

Resign.

Simple enough for you, oaf?

What a self-aggrandising twat.

It reads like 1970s Russian propaganda (or at least what I imagine 1970s Russian propaganda was like).

Have you seen his handwriting - it looks like a kids first attempt!

Sorry, I'm no longer interested in anything this man has to say.

His style of writing seems to be intended to be authoritive but comes across as patronising and dictatorial.

Maybe he is trying to thin out the conservative electorate by causing an apoplexy in all the people who read this sh1te.

He's saying:

"Hey newspapers, amongst many skills I can offer your company is writing opinion pieces. Remember that come next June. I also work well both individually and as part of a team."

[OwlHoot]

Why on earth does he write a column in the DT regarding the apology to Alan Turing?

It is written with al the characteristic pomp and heavy handedness, but for him to write in the DT seems to me like inviting Puff Daddy to sing at a KKK gathering.

Every comment seems to be people venting their spleens at him for being such a cr@p PM and most posts hardly even address the subject matter.

What does he expect to achieve by that.

And this his after his minion Miliband got pasted for writing about Afghanistan.

Next he should apologise for the First Afghan War, when badly equipped British troops were massacred during a campaign to maintain a pro-Western Government to counterbalance a neighbouring pro-Russian Iran.

Er, hang on, that sounds vaguely familiar.

[bogeyman]

Indeed.

What right does he have to offer an apology to Alan Turing anyway?

More of the glib, empty posturing and political maneuvering we have come to expect from this shabby, cowardly oaf and his incompetent apparatchiks.

Of course, Turing was treated abominably, but so were many thousands of other men. Is Brown going to apologize to them all individually. A fair number of them may still be alive so the apology might actually mean something.

I loathe this sham of apologising for things that happened in history in the hope that it will somehow make it all right.

It's a though they, the apologisers, are trying to impose their morals and mores on the people of the past and in some, deranged way, rewrite history.
