London mayor putting 'politics over safety' Palantir UK boss says
Palantir UK chief says blocking £50m Met deal will give "hostile states and criminals an advantage".BBC News
So #trans people in the #UK can't legally use most public toilets, & can't safely use hospitals.
Gender vigilantes will be empowered. Most of their victims will be non-conforming cis women. There will be violence.
Forget the small print in the new code of practice. #Apartheid is the new reality.
Yes, a case will be brought to the ECtHR. But that takes years, and a victory will be the casus belli for the UK to withdraw from the #ECHR.
Thanks, a bunch #LabourParty. You utter scum.

France lifts the lockdown on a cruise ship and blames a stomach bug for the outbreak.
French authorities allowed asymptomatic passengers to disembark a British cruise ship that had been in lockdown after docking in the French city of Bordeaux, following an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness that killed a 90-year-old passenger.
Regional health authorities earlier said there was no reason to link the outbreak to the hantavirus cluster.

🧿 NHS England confirms: Palantir staff can access patient data
"It's the equivalent of telling a civil servant, 'Only you can read your email' and then going, 'Oh, but freedom of information exists'. It is just a lack of transparency that we got through a leak, rather than saying 'We're going to do this thing, here's what it will mean'."
