    Well, good! But the Telegraph reporting is so right biased here it’s surreal to read.

    Scheduling operating theatres needs Actual Intelligence, which is significantly cheaper than Artificial Intelligence, and doesn’t expose the entire UKs medical history to the modern equivalent of a 1940 Auschwitz medical research group.

      The Telegraph is outright terrible. The only more right wing paper is probably GB News.

      I’d focus on using left or center-left publications like The Guardian and The Independent.

      There are some further left publications such as Novara Media and The Canary (they’re better on some issues where others are too cowardly, like Gaza or trans rights). Though I’m not sure how accurate they are on everything.

      On some issues the BBC is fine too, just not Israel and trans rights.

      My point being, we are stopping pretty low if we reach for the Telegraph.

          Yeah I can’t deny that. Platforming bigots is not something an organization like the BBC should do. Reality has a left-leaning bias, and the BBC over-corrects.

          It’s not my first choice, clearly, but it’s ok on some topics. Others I don’t even bother to read what they have said.

        Well, there’s also the Daily Heil.

      I love their Ukraine coverage but anything domestic is outrageously imbalanced. Even their coverage of Ukraine was affected with the PM ousting, where they shat all over him as if reform isnt Russian themselves.

      That said your comparison was a bit much re Auschwitz.

          I don’t think its healthy to make that leap. They are opprtunistic cunts, they havent actively and personally killed people directly to a degree that requires infrastructure changes for transporting the victims.

            But they have:

            • enabled ICE to hunt, deport, torture and kill protestors and asylum seekers in the US

            • provided the targeting data for Israel in the Gaza genocide.

            • described those supportive of the NHS as suffering form Stockholm Syndrome

            • finally Thiel himself is a well known white supremacist who is anti-women anti-LGBT, and a doomsday prepper who appears to want to actively bring down society and test his own preparedness.

              I dont think be is anti anything other than pro control and money.

              They are evil, the comparison is undercooked is all.

                I completely understand your point here, I just worry that we are the same point in history where people just hadn’t connected the dots yet.

                There is a genocide going on in Gaza, there is ethnic cleaning going on in the USA and the NHS has handed off (to at least some small degree) who gets what medical treatment and when to AI.

                Plalantir is involved in all of this and we may find out how much in the years and decades to come.

                The comparison is undercooked, but it may just need some more time and a few more leaks…. Oh look Peter Thiel just said the Pope is “working for the Chinese communists”

    Everyone is talking about how evil palantir is for supporting Israel with their genocide and they’re 100% right about that

    But I feel that almost nobody is talking about how this is an AI data broker with access to about all data about us all that we can imagine, while the owner is a right wing christo idiot who wants Armageddon to happen. Am I the only one also having big issues with that?

    Thank God. At least something good. I don’t want any of my taxes funding Papantir in any way. Evil evil evil.

    Burnham is a staunch zionist. Zionism LOVES palantir, and palantir loves them back. Theres no way in hell Burnham would ever eject palantir out of anything. This is all a big nonsense show, or a misdirection. I’ll believe it when its done and stays done.

    edit: and here it is. It only took 2 hours for Burnhams people to rebut the telegraph article and say he would do no such thing to Palantir’s contract. https://novaramedia.com/2026/07/03/burnham-allies-roll-back-on-claim-he-might-axe-palantirs-nhs-contract/
