@swggrkllr3rd @Tooden @alex_p_roe @ChrisMayLA6 that’s a bit on the nose, isn’t it?

@spdrnl @swggrkllr3rd @Tooden @alex_p_roe @ChrisMayLA6 The fact that his grandfather ran the BUF doesn’t bother me at all, you can’t pin the failings of someone’s ancestors on them, or successes for that matter. Being happy to run Palantir UK is much more of an indication of his moral character.

Edit: For example Vivian Wilson is Musk’s daughter and seems like a thoroughly wonderful human being, unlike her father.

@ChrisMayLA6 Excellent. Attack Palantir, attack Streeting, and attack Starmer, all in one.

I don’t believe Starmer for a second, so publication of more internal messages will throw up more of his lies and misdirection.

Streeting’s judgment can be shown as compromised and spike his leadership ambitions.

And the sooner these Palantir contracts (single-source no-competitor contracts!) are stopped and the tender paperwork re-examined, the better.

@ChrisMayLA6 Let's not leave Larry Ellison's Oracle, and the Tony Blair Institute's lobbying on their behalf out of this. They are at least as much of a problem as Palantir.

@bjn @swggrkllr3rd @Tooden @alex_p_roe @ChrisMayLA6

Yes and no.

Palantir due to its business has civic duties, and the news are calling out their integrity.

From my point of view Palantir is a clear danger for civic society.

Therefor, from my point of view I think this information is of public interest.

It is important to get all information on the table.

In short, as long as Palantir stays out of my information I am happy to stay out of theirs.

@bjn @swggrkllr3rd @Tooden @alex_p_roe @ChrisMayLA6 Note, his established connection with Thiel is the primary concern here.

@hopeless

Polanski is relevant because at the next election there will be millions of Labour and ex-Labour voters who will be voting for the Greens over Labour.

@ChrisMayLA6

[reggiehere@mastodon.social]

@hopeless

Sounds to me like you don't like the Greens.....

@hopeless

Can you explain why it's so important to remove the nuclear disarmament policy?

@alex_p_roe @swggrkllr3rd @Tooden @ChrisMayLA6 There’s no “potentially “ about it - https://www.whiskeyleaks.org/democracy-and-freedom-are-incompatible-peter-thiel/

[spdrnl@sigmoid.social]

@bjn @swggrkllr3rd @Tooden @alex_p_roe @ChrisMayLA6 As a refresher: "... Peter Thiel - sponsor Trump [and founder/owner of Palantir] - calls democracy a failed experiment and argues that women and 'poor people' should never have been given the right to vote. He writes that to Epstein. So that Thiel, develops a deportation app for I.C.E. and that's where NL pension money flows ..."

[bjn@mstdn.social]

@spdrnl @swggrkllr3rd @Tooden @alex_p_roe @ChrisMayLA6 Well yes, Thiel is a terrible person whose ideas are inimical to a decent and fair society. I’m much more angered by the fact that the UK government is happy to throw money at his foreign surveillance tech company to run basic services than whoever the chap running Thiel’s UK branch happens to be descended from. Thats the important message.

[spdrnl@sigmoid.social]

@bjn @swggrkllr3rd @Tooden @alex_p_roe @ChrisMayLA6 Being head of Palantir UK means you are involved right? It is not just association.

Accountability for all parties has to be addressed.

[bjn@mstdn.social]

@spdrnl @swggrkllr3rd @Tooden @alex_p_roe @ChrisMayLA6 Read my original post in this thread. I called out his being willing to run Thiel’s UK subsidiary as reflecting on his character.
