Re: Alan Turing pardoned
The thing is under the way the law works here it is you have to be found innocent of the offense regardless of whether or not the law is just or not.

Re: Gas Attack in Syria
Yeah, France has just said that it will up military support. Clearly leaders are trying to raise public opinion of intervention.

Re: Gas Attack in Syria
Parliament are expected to vote in favour of action on Thursday but I don't know what that action will be. Jordan has said it doesn't want to be used as a launching ground but Turkey seems to support intervention.
