I am sure that Wes will have stern words with Manchester if he becomes PM. After all that is one of the things that Palentir and other private sector providers are paying him for

"It led to criticism from several MPs, who said that it raised yet more questions about the UK’s portfolio of contracts with the company. Palantir has built up more than £500m in contracts in Britain, including a £330m contract with the NHS, as well as deals with the police and Ministry of Defence."

So now that Palantir has publicly announced its obvious textbook evil, MPs rush to performatively denounce it.

It's kind of irritating seeing weasles llke this try to act sly. No, #AlexKarp - #Palentir isn't "like a cult", Palentir is apart of the #SiliconValley cult.
It's primed by sycophantic industries peddling motivational books & speakers, networked at galas, parties, the odd island, where they do debauched, hedonistic and narcissistic things.
They just want the cover of #war to hide their sinful, disgusting ways - and to profit
Palantir Issues Ominous Corporate Manifesto
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/palantir-corporate-manifesto -
Wow. From the article:
Palentir's post ends by criticizing “the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism.”
In Palantir’s argument, a blind devotion to pluralism and inclusivity “glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.”

Palentir and the NHS
The FT has slipped up here - publishing a whitewashing article regarding Palentir and the (English) NHS -part of the companies attempts to avoid questions on (a) how effective the software is (2) how safe the data is given it is an American company and I can guarantee some of it will be exported and (3) lockin. The comments are worth a read - especially the one highlighted.

Palentir and the NHS
The UK had a troubled relationship with Palantir before the contract was awarded, with privacy fears and worries over Palantir's relationship with the US government. Since its adoption, some care boards have delayed their implementations due to an unwillingness to use the system, and the British Medical Association has called for doctors to stop using it over Palantir's recent work with ICE on its deportation efforts.

Our Future Health
I was asked to participate in a large study (there are more than 2M participants at the moment) and before agreeing - it looks like a good Idea, I made some enquiries about data use and sharing, and it was not all obvious from the FAQ. Any changes will be notified.
https://ourfuturehealth.org.uk/about-us/our-charity-industry-partnerships/
I had a response very quickly, I wonder whether they get this more often than their FAQ suggests? 🤔

Well he would say that wouldn’t he (thanks Mandy RD) . As great a threat to National Security as his grandfather.

The fact that hospitals are still willing to work with Palantir should be the bigger story!

Amnesty conference in Exeter
Well attended conference with a wide range of human rights issues discussed
March 2026
The Exeter group of Amnesty puts together a conference every year and those attending this year were able to listen to a range of speakers on some of the current problems with human rights around the world. Each topic will need its own space so we shall be putting up a range of posts over the coming week or so to give them justice. For now, this is just a brief summary as a kind of ‘taster’. All credit to the Exeter group for organising this event. Six members from the Salisbury group attended and all found it worthwhile.
Tapestry
The tapestry was on display after many years absence. It was displayed in Salisbury Cathedral several years ago.
Malawi
We do not hear enough from Africa although the war in Sudan occasionally makes the news. Malawi is one of a number of countries in Africa which have anti-gay legislation. Eric Sambisa spoke of his campaign and actions to get the law on LGBTQ+ legislation changed in his country. Those laws derive from colonial times and change is proving slow.
Authoritarianism
We had two speakers on authoritarianism, first in America and second in the UK. Trump and his supporters are carrying out a range of such measures and worryingly, UK governments are quietly following suit with more laws and increased police powers designed to reduce protests. The firm Palentir was raised more than once and they represent a serious risk to our personal security.
Purchasing
A forthcoming Amnesty campaign will focus on what we buy and the human rights stories behind our purchases. Much of what we buy comes from overseas and is produced in sweat shops in the far east where – mostly women – work in terrible conditions with few if any rights. There are no trade unions. The surprising, nay shocking thing, is that big name British retailers are involved, the likes of M&S, Tesco, Next and others. Firms who’s policies have the familiar words about human rights being our ‘first priority’. The supply chains are long and as you go down them the opportunities for abuse increases.
There was discussion of Early Day Motion 1266 concerning banning goods coming from the illegal Israeli settlements. Unfortunately, there was insufficient time to discuss the large number of MPs, from all parties, who are members of the powerful Friends of Israel lobby groups. Their power means the motion is unlikely to succeed.
Palestine
The situation in Palestine was a topic as you might expect and we had a presentation from an academic at Exeter University. Part of the discussion focused on the prospects for a two state solution. There are none was the stark conclusion. Israel has systematically removed people and built settlements which make the creation of a viable Palestinian state impossible. Recent announcements of the creation of 19 new settlements cements this fact, referred to as ‘settler colonialism’. The speaker did focus on the Apartheid regime in place in Israel and the West Bank. Attacking that, much as happened in South Africa which saw that regime come to an end, was the way forward he said.
Amnesty International
There were some speakers who discussed issues surrounding Amnesty itself. In common with all charities at present and the drop in funding to the sector of £1.4bn in a year, Amnesty is having to reduce its expenditure. It has a new Chief Executive. It is facing ‘significant financial challenges’.
The photo is the traditional picture where delegates assemble in front of the cathedral.
Once again, thanks to the Exeter group for organising this excellent event.

Paging Barbra Streisand...
"‘It does feel like an intimidation campaign’: why is US tech giant Palantir suing a small Swiss magazine?"
#Palentir #StreisandEffect

#PeterTheil and #Palentir A Clear and Present Danger to Social Democracies. The #Swiss rejected the product, #Australia has not, and the #UK is in the middle of acquiring it for wide useage. If you think this all sounds like some sort of conspiracy theory, well, think again. PeteTheil who owns Palantir is a #Fundamentalist #Christian (aka #ChristoFascist) currently controlling the US propaganda machine in #tRump ‘s service. The same man who recently lectured on the #AntiChris in Rome (the Pope isn’t happy about it).
Also consider this: “The Nerve has identified a previous case in which Palantir claimed proprietary rights to data insights after its contract was cancelled. In the early 2010s, the New York Police Department contracted Palantir to help find high-profile targets using data scraping and analysis. In 2017, it cancelled the contract, but Palantir claimed its platforms – Gotham and Foundry, the same systems used inside the UK government – created a unique ecosystem that sat on top of NYPD data. That meant any analysis derived from those platforms was, they claimed, Palantir’s intellectual property.”

AI and copyright
Labour are being reported to have abandoned giving full freedom for AI companies to rip off artists - visual, musical and written in the UK. What were the feckers thinking of I wonder? (Donations to the party?) I wonder what ‘full freedom restrictions’ means in practice?
Now to get back to Palentir and Oracle from this distraction - necessary but far from sufficient.

More evidence of Palentir inserting itself into the Maladministration
Now I have no problem in oversight, but I would be very interested to understand what data has been shared with a US company and how they might plane to use that in the future. Answers on a postcard.

Global Counsel calls in administrators, blaming Peter Mandelson ‘maelstrom’
Well Mandelson got out while the going was good, but GC’s dodgy clients and their role in lobbying the British Government for Palentir (as one example) are being quietly brushed under the carpet.
We should be demanding transparency before our ‘leaders’ conveniently forget.

I know they have a lot on their plates, but #Westminster in the main seems very reluctant to pursue overseas interference in UK #Politics (see also Labour Friends of Israel and #Palentir/#Oracle cosying)
And specifically collusion - in this case the US with Johnson https://bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/bannon-epstein-farage-and-johnson-and-the-plot-to-topple-theresa-may/

Oh hell yes. A rep from #palentir is challenging #GamersNexus to a grudgematch - and tis glorious.
#GNCA is of course their new #Consumer #Advocacy group and you should #subscribe if you want to see some first grade journalistic reporting.
Personally I want Palentir to stay the hell away from my country of #Norway, because they obviously want to help build #SurveilanceStates - and are therefore #antidemocratic, #predatory and a bunch of toadies.
