Alan Turing died by suicide on 7 June 1954. Turing was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 and given a choice between imprisonment and probation. His probation would be conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce his libido. Turing's conviction led to the removal of his security clearance and barred him from continuing with his consultancy for GCHQ. He was denied entry into the United States after his conviction.

"Child casualties dropped by 46%, and children killed by 75%"

20mph = Fewer maimed and dead children.

Difficult to argue with that.

Apparently this is the Telegraph's breaking news logo. This is, apparently, not a parody.
