Saving Bletchley Park

In case you may not have seen this :

Welcome to the saving Bletchley Park website. Thousands of people worked 
at Bletchley Park during World War Two to decode messages that the German 
forces transmitted, most notably by Hitler to the German high command. The 
cracking of the codes used, the use of the intelligence gained and the 
subsequent related actions of the Allies is said to have shortened World 
War Two by two years possibly saving 22 million lives. The critical 
importance of Bletchley Park in world history cannot be denied.

Bletchley Park is also the birthplace of the computer. The world's first 
programmable, digital, electronic computer: Colossus was invented and 
built at Bletchley Park during World War Two to speed the reading of 
encrypted German messages.

Bletchley Park is unique. It combines a key role in modern history along 
with being the birthplace of the computer. I cannot think of a place more 
worthy of our interest, our support and our government's support. Please 
join me in raising awareness of the fundamental importance of Bletchley 
Park and in saving Bletchley Park so that it will still be there for 
future generations to visit, appreciate and understand.
