How many times must there be a serious data breach for the thick emptyheaded clowns in government to realize forcing digital ID is a fucking awful idea

People will blame immigration or austerity but in truth the UK becoming a glorified nursing home with legacy media prioritising the retiree class is largely the reason for this.
so the uk has no more culture export left whatsoever now right

To make sure British citizens realise what's going on, Palantir can now: • Build and run the National Firearms Registry, tracking the addresses and medical files of 500,000 gun and explosives holders across all 43 police forces. • Map your digital footprint by trialling police systems (like Project Nectar) that pull your texts, call logs, emails, and social media data into a single profile. • Track your physical movements by linking live number plate trackers, CCTV locations, and mobile phone tower pings. • Process unverified intelligence by feeding anonymous tips and police notes about who you meet into automated linking models. • Profile police officers using data-matching tools that actively scrape the device logs, vehicle uses, and system logins of a force's own employees. • Access direct NHS data through a £330 million contract, using admin privileges that let engineers view patient environments before the files are scrambled (pseudonymised). This is the same Palantir used to coordinate the largest simultaneous terrorist attack in history by the IOF in Lebanon. This is the same Palantir used by the IOF since 2014 and actively being used in Gaza.
🚨 NEW: Palantir has signed a multimillion-pound deal with all police forces in England and Wales to run the national firearms database [@billcurtis0]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize Israel had now escalated to the "quadruple tap" where they just keep killing and killing as people try desperately to help the wounded
I still cannot get over the evil of the Israeli "double tap" strike

They dropped so many bombs on Gaza and released over 30 million tonnes of CO2. There's also the data centers, one of them reportedly releasing 23 atomic bombs worth of heat into the atmosphere. We are also razing forests faster than we can regrow them.

ChatGPT wouldn’t be able to do it if we hadn’t
"There's no way you can write a ten page paper without chatGPT" WE COULD LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING THAT EVER HAPPENED IN HUMAN HISTORY WITHOUT CHATGPT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

When people talk about the crimes of Sweden they mean Sami colonialism or some shit and not that one time they killed 1/3rd of Poland's population and enslaved the survivors to work in labor camps

If there were a clip to highlight the disfunctionality of parliament it’s a working class woman proposing MPs shouldn’t be allowed to drink subsidised booze on the job followed by said MPs jeering her and the PM completely avoiding the question. Clear the lot out.
🚨 WATCH: Green MP Hannah Spencer asks Keir Starmer if he agrees that MPs "shouldn't be drinking on the job" Starmer: "The Greens think their leader walks on water. It turns out that he just lives on water and doesn't pay his council tax" #PMQs

It’s incredible how “if we meet people’s basic needs, they’ll stop working” and “billionaires are hard workers” coexist in people’s minds.

It’s what he was paid to do
Wes Streeting signed off giving all of our sensitive details to Palantir and then resigned. This is just brilliant 🙄

My coworker asked me if an employer could be sued if an employee develops AI psychosis after being forced to use AI agents. I cannot stop thinking about this question.

Landlords are the scum of society. Bottom feeders leaching off everyone else until they’re reminded that being financially responsible for their property means spending money on its upkeep.

BREAKING 🚨 The tax expert who broke the Polanski Boat Tax Story admits he wasn’t even aware of the situation surrounding Marina boat tax until he started exploring it. It turns out only one resident in 35 years have ever paid council tax on the Marina! Pretty quick to blame Zack though wasn’t he…

Genuinely dont mean any disrespect to either when I say this, but its absolutely disgusting I'm only seeing this through Skwawkbox via a Canary article... Why isnt this breaking Sky News? Why are Labour reps not being pushed to explain themselves on this?
Labour deletes smear against Green candidate after police involved... thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/…
