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’
