He certainly shared with Turing the respect of others in "the trade". He also shared with him the dubious honour of being hounded and persecuted by the post war establishment. Not perhaps to the extent that Turing was driven to take his life, but nonetheless getting a despicable letter disowning and dishonouring him by the head of GCHQ, and being ostracised from the Intelligence community.
He was essentially a whistle-blower, claiming that we were making exactly the same mistakes that the Germans had made in the war, hence compromising our security.
Bad boy or patriot? Either way it still doesn't pay to blow whistles.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
