Yesterday, outside the UK national policing conference members of the #SafetyNotSurveillance coalition went to deliver a simple message…

Communities don't want more surveillance. They want real safety.

The technologies being promoted inside the summit fuel racism, enable unchecked policing power, and threaten all our rights. They must be stopped.

Together we can build safety rooted in dignity, not surveillance.

Could the Greens take London in the next election?

They will if Labour carries on down the Trump path...

On arrival at camps like Auschwitz, Dachau, and Flossenburg, prisoners were forced to surrender all their belongings, including clothing, jewelry, money, watches, and even personal items like glasses and shoes. These items were sorted and stored in warehouses, and then shipped to Germany for use by the Nazi state or sold to fund the war effort.

Valuables such as gold rings, jewelry, and even gold teeth extracted from murdered victims were melted down into ingots and deposited in German and Swiss banks, becoming assets of the Reich.

"Net #migration to the UK last year was 20% lower than previously thought. The driving factor behind the change is that more British nationals are thought to have emigrated in 2024 than initially recorded, with 100,000 fewer now thought to be living in the UK."

Today we’ll be giving evidence at the UK Home Affairs Select Committee on Digital ID.

We’ll be arguing against the introduction of this digital surveillance infrastructure, where we’ll have to constantly prove who we are as we go about our daily lives.

Watch from 2.30pm GMT ⬇️

FWIW I read this as a not-very-coded warning to governments that they need to get their wallets out. They learned from the banks that as long as they got "too big to fail" they could knowingly inflate this bubble without personal consequences. #AI #Google #USPol #UKPol #TechNews

"On an earnings call earlier this year, #Palantir’s CEO, Alex Karp, a man who struggles to keep his more Messianic tendencies in check, boasted about killing people “when necessary”. That this company operates both inside #Gaza surveilling and profiling people for execution and inside the UK #NHS handling our most sensitive private data is one of the more sociopathic data points of the modern age."
