Palantir’s stated mission is to defend America. Peter Thiel is a radical libertarian who does not believe ‘freedom & democracy are compatible’.
Yet, the UK is overwhelmingly dependent on Palantir’s services. As a national security threat, this is off the charts.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Thames Water is going bankrupt, AGAIN.
It can be nationalised very easily and for free.
Freeze their bills, watch them go bankrupt, takeover water supply as soon as they stop, as the law already states.

I am glad to see more and more people talking about this, even in newspapers here in Sweden the talk about finding alternatives to US tech have started.
You dont really realise how much we rely on it until now, when they went from being an ally to an enemy.
I just hope we have time to change

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States.
It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

Brexit has burdened businesses such as Broughton Transport with unnecessary paperwork and bureaucracy, and this is what leaving the single market looks like: chaos, delays, and excessive barriers to trade.

Critically, we also need the public to support actions that enable older people to live great lives without having to drive for when they fail the eye tests. So the public need to get onboard with no pavement parking, pedestrian priority, denser housing, fewer out-of-town shopping centres, etc etc
