No.... Britain was "rude" to Turing because they convicted him of gross indecency for being homosexual and chemically castrated him.
Right, but they're not being rude to people who break encryption today. They themselves want to break it. So the "history" that OP refers to isn't relevant to the article. If they had a history of being rude to whoever invented encryption then it'd make more sense.
