If the govenment can plough £millions into banks and car manufacturers than perhaps they can spare a few bucks for one of the most important sites in the history of computing?
There was a programme on tv about this recently, I can't remember what the programme was, or when it was shown. It could have been an item on the news in fact. Bletchley park was somewhere I had never heard about until that show and the forgot about shortly after. BUT I have just been reminded about it by a tweet by Stephen Fry who I have just started following on twitter (let's face it, if anyone has anything worth listening to on Twitter it's likely to be him).
The upshot of having the link twittered by Mr Fry is that the petition to the government to save Bletchely has been signed by an extra couple of thousand people in quite literally minutes. Bloody impressive. I think we can safely say that social web stuff is really starting to have a serious influence.
