[GreenKeys] British Prime Minister's Address

[Nick England]

No, Bletchley Park hasn't been recently sold off to some fiendish
private organization. The Bletchley Park Trust is a charity
organization that recently received £8M from the government's Heritage
Lottery Fund.

"Bletchley Park is run by the Bletchley Park Trust, a charity formed
in 1992 to preserve the site for the nation."

There is a new CEO evidently behind the furor - and no he's not some
fiendish capitalist either, but a retired Army officer.

No, I am not defending him or the BP/Colossus squabble, just
responding with a few actual facts...
