#Palantir are embedded in #OurNHS - despite their links to Donald #Trump and their supply of #tech to the #Israeli & US militaries
Murray is new, and what happens on his first few days on the job can transform what happens with the Palantir contract
Lets flood his inbox today so he can see just how many of us want that contract terminated

This article is talking about the UK press; I wonder if the results would be the same for the press here in the USA.
Note that The Guardian, which does such good work in many fields, is not good at all when it comes to trans issues.

The rapid rise of 'gender critical' organisations in the UK shows ahigh volume of anti-trans media coverage and increasing spending by 51 organisationsLudovic Parsons (QueerAF)
So #trans people in the #UK can't legally use most public toilets, & can't safely use hospitals.
Gender vigilantes will be empowered. Most of their victims will be non-conforming cis women. There will be violence.
Forget the small print in the new code of practice. #Apartheid is the new reality.
Yes, a case will be brought to the ECtHR. But that takes years, and a victory will be the casus belli for the UK to withdraw from the #ECHR.
Thanks, a bunch #LabourParty. You utter scum.
The Ukrainian flag has been removed from outside Essex County Council's offices by the newly elected Reform UK administration.
The Ukraine flag had flown outside the building since March 2022, weeks after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of the country.

#Palantir contractors working for #NHS to receive ‘unlimited #access’ to #patient #data

“That means that Palantir #software can only be used to process data precisely in line with the instruction of the #customer. Using the data for anything else would not only be illegal but technically impossible due to granular access controls overseen by the NHS.”
"technically impossible" - #lol 😭

Another big win for Nigel Farage. Brexit didn’t exactly restore the British empire (to put it mildly), so how he still manages to get so many votes is beyond me…
This cartoon is from way back in 2014, but as with so many cartoons these days, I can simply recycle it.

“Why banning pro-Palestine marches in the #UK is a risky response to antisemitic violence.
Banning non-violent protests may lead to violent protests instead.”

Why banning pro-Palestine marches is a risky response to antisemitic violence
Evidence on the relationship between protest activity and targeted violence outside of the protest arena is limited.The Conversation
Unfortunately, I think this letter will fall upon deaf ears. As we've learned from their response to the OSA repeal petition, their response to any criticism of these laws is to 1: Glaze said laws 2: Imply critics of the laws are sex pests/pedophiles/etc. and 3: Enact even more fascist legislation.
The UK Government (and I'm sure plenty of other governments) is willing to die on the hill of these thinly veiled mass surveillance/censorship laws. They won't stop unless the courts/a future parliament/a general strike forces them to. Because enacting a fascist police state is just too good to pass up.
I would be glad to be wrong and they actually listen but I don't think that will be the case.

Israeli soldiers have been looting civilian property on a large scale from homes and businesses in southern Lebanon with the knowledge of their commanders, Haaretz reported on Thursday.
As Israeli troops leave Lebanon, they openly load stolen goods onto their vehicles without attempting to conceal them.
