I can imagine the conversations within the #London #maladministration.

‘We need to approve another data centre’
‘Why’
‘Oh #AI and #Palentir and keeping #US tech companies happy and other things, mumble mumble’
‘What about water and power requirements’
‘Who cares, if Londoners complain we will ship it in from #Wales or #Scotland’
‘Fine’
‘What about #environmental assessments?’
‘Screw them, we have avoided them in the past’

Good news: Switzerland rejects Palantir software after a risk assessment, despite years of lobbying by the American firm with authorities and the military. The Swiss consider the risk of sensitive data being passed on to the US and possibly Israel too great.

Europe can invest in their own security tools.

Palentir & NHS

I am sure that the NHS in Manchester will be brought to heel by the monied interests combined with Downing St and Streeting lickarsery. After all

https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/20/manchester_nhs_fdp_deferred/

‘Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board has again put off its adoption of an NHS data platform prescribed by the UK government and run by Palantir until there is more evidence that it will be in the "best interests" of the city's population.’. Madness I say, madness.
