Alan Turing Pardon: Pointless

'The pardon given to Alan struck me as being something one couldn't in any real sense object to. But it seemed odd that he'd been singled out.

'I don't want people to go away with the impression that the pardon was a bad thing. It's really hard to criticise it, but I'm not sure that it added a great deal.'

Sir Dermot Turing, Alan's nephew, in GT (ie Gay Times).

Stephen Fry and Benedict Cumberbatch - two of Fagburn's most favourite people - are backing a campaign, okay, an online petition, asking the government to; 'Pardon all of the estimated 49,000 men who, like Alan Turing, were convicted of consenting same-sex relations under the British "gross indecency" law (only repealed in 2003), and also all the other men convicted under other UK anti-gay laws.'

Again, what is point?

NB Men who have criminal convictions or cautions for consensual gay sex (or mere encounters) have been able to get them overturned since 2012. 

PS Mind you, anything that winds up Stephen Green of Christian Voice must have something going for it...



I think this is meant to be her showreel to get some TV work.

Stephen, TELEVISION IS NOT IN THE BIBLE!!!

Morrissey: The Movie!

The Oscar-nominated team behind THE VOORMAN PROBLEM are pleased to announce that development is underway on a feature-length portrait of Morrissey as a young man currently under the working title of STEVEN.

Developed by Manchester-based Honlodge Productions, the film is a portrait of Morrissey’s early life prior to forming a legendary songwriting partnership with Johnny Marr. The Smiths, who went on to sell millions of records worldwide, were described by the BBC as “the band that inspired deeper devotion than any British group since The Beatles”.

Director Mark Gill and producer Baldwin Li are joined by producer Orian Williams, whose credits include CONTROL, the critically acclaimed biopic of Joy Division’s Ian Curtis. The screenplay is written by Mark Gill and William Thacker, whose debut novel CHARM OFFENSIVE was released by Legend Press in March 2014. Casting will be by Shaheen Baig (CONTROL, THE OTHERS, LOCKE).

Director Mark Gill states: “The film covers Morrissey’s life pre-Smiths and is more of a portrait than a conventional biopic. It’s as much a film for non-Morrissey fans as it is for die-hard devotees, but I can’t deny that this is a love letter to Steven Patrick Morrissey and the dark satanic mills of Manchester.”

This should both fuel and hurt La Mozza's ego; 'Who is this idiot playing ME!!?'

Actually, I bet she tries to sue.

Update: While you're waiting why not watch this short film of La Moz getting attacked by a fan in San Jose Wednesday?

Gone to the dogs?
