I liked your precis with regard to British contributions to the history of ideas in IT. I knew of names like Boole, Babbage, Turing, and Russel, but it was good to see them all (and more) laid out so neatly. I am sure you could have made a longer list, but the one you made was most effective.

I find the arguments about US vs UK and young vs old to be a real distraction from the basic
issue which is: "whither Oracle?"
