RE: Government rejects Bletchley rescue petition

Sign the Bletchley Park e-petition
Blog There's a 10 Downing Street e-petition that needs your name on it. As you know, Bletchley Park is under threat. The iconic site is crumbling and desperately needs the external funding that befits its place in British computing history.

RE: Government rejects Bletchley rescue petition
Blog Comment If those 22,000 people hadn't signed a petition, but had actually donated money, say 10 pounds each to Bletchley park, that would have raised enough to get the work done to stop the deterioration of the huts.

RE: Government rejects Bletchley rescue petition
Blog Comment Bletchley is also a really fascinating place to visit. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and the exhibits well researched and well laid out. Suitable for all ages. It is well worth spending the time to see the place.

RE: Sign the Bletchley Park e-petition
Blog Comment I find this sad, and strangely unbelievable. If any site has a story to tell, it's Bletchley. I mean to say, it's already been the subject of at least one film and TV programme, it should have plenty of PR juice.
