Palantir is working with ICE, it uses AI drones to kill innocent Palestinians in Gaza. Why the hell are we giving Palantir our NHS information. Palantir need to be banned from UK Goverment, just like the Swiss banned them from theirs

Workers now produce roughly 40% more per hour than they did in the late 1990s. But we're not working shorter weeks, retiring earlier and living more comfortably asa result. Instead people are struggling to pay for the heating, food and bills at the same time. We're being robbed blind.

So the ‘negotiation’ involves blowing smoke up Putin’s arse, asking him what he wants then attacking Ukraine for refusing to concede it. Never forget the huge swathe of UK media & political figures who celebrated Trump’s ascent while claiming to care about Ukraine. Absolute heels, the lot of them.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.
