Petition to save Bletchley Park
There is currently a petition on the Number 10 website asking the Prime Minister to save Bletchley Park. For anyone who hasn’t heard of Bletchley, the Wikipedia article on the subject has some good starting information—basically this was the place where some of the defining events of the Second World War took place, including the cracking of the ciphers generated by the Engima machine. I’ve yet to make it to Bletchley Park myself, so I would be extremely disappointed to see it go due to a lack of funding.
If you want to take more direct action, the Bletchley Park Trust welcomes donations and has a Friends of Bletchley Park scheme which you can join.
N.B. You can only sign the petition if you are British citizen or resident, though this includes expats and people living in British Overseas Territories or Crown Dependencies.
