The treatment of Alan Turing, considered the founder of computer science as we know it and a hero of WWII (he helped crack Enigma) subsequently prosecuted for his homosexuality and forced to take hormone treatments, eventually committing suicide, is a unconscionable blight in Britain's modern history. Sign this petition calling for a public apology from the British government for their treatment of him. It isn't enough, of course, but it's something, and probably the only thing that can be done at this point.
