Prejudice

Thanks to an extra screening of the Imitation Game at Saffron Walden’s excellent community cinema, Saffron Screen, I’ve finally managed to see this outstanding and moving film. Not only does it show the achievement of Alan Turing in building what we would today call a computer to crack the Nazi Enigma code during the second world war, but it also shows how his life was eventually destroyed because of the laws that made homosexuality a crime.

All too often we are faced by the appalling consequences of prejudice and intolerance towards those who areĀ  described as beingĀ ‘different.’ Today’s world still has much to learn: will we ever realise that there really is no problem with people having different sexualities, being of a different race or following different religions?
