Britain jumps into bed with Palantir in £1.5B defense pact The UK has struck a defense deal with US spy-tech biz Palantir, which the government says will unlock £1.5 billion ($2 billion) of investment in Britain. The arrangement emerged during the fanfare of US president Donald Trump's state visit to the UK, and accompanies a string of announcements by American tech A-listers, with …
Palantir are up to some very shady stuff with the profiling.
I did some digging on the age verification. I looked at Persona who do Reddit and I found that First Founders who are one of their investors are heavily invested in Palantir and another Coatue strangely recently sold all it's investments in Palantir. The others due to the names (on purpose I believe) were difficult to track down. There is also something else that's strange going on. The DWP are asking people to submit photos of id with the person holding it even though these people have shown ID every time they have been to their job seeker interviews.
I mention this because it's strange we are getting into bed with them on the military side with large amounts of money changing hands. Let's also not forget their blatant grab attempts at NHS data if they already don't have it.
There is also the DOGE scam they pulled off in America to obtain literally all data on citizens. I don't doubt for one minute reform wouldn't pull that same scam, in fact they have spoken about it already. It could explain to some extent the main stream media support they are getting.
Just what is the end game here? Is this the first steps towards a totalitarian society? Confirm and identify everyone then label the dissenters? Scary stuff.
Do politicians know anything?
Obviously this is just to please the unstable Trump who has proved beyond doubt that we need to cut ties with America as much as possible.
Eff him. Take his golf course, and kick him out.
Take LINO Starmer with him.
Peter Thiel, for fucks sake. I thought this country was meant to be skint.
Anyway, good news for Labour opponents. Letting constituents know all about Thiel and Palantir will get them an easy win.
It's just a shame that Corbyns party is having problems before they start. It's almost as if WestMinster want a 'reform' government.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp said the company would spend up to £750 million ($1 billion) in the UK
I wonder of the ROI on this woud be of a similar magnitude to the nominal £1 contract that ended up at £23 million, without open compettition...

As a general rule, I avoid reading a single sentence that covers two paragraphs, as it's difficult to read. If there is something in there that you feel is beneficial for people to read, it might be worth editing the comment to make it easier to digest.
The passage reflects a striking cluster of linguistic and thematic markers strongly evocative of severe thought disturbance.
a. Repetitive verbal structures verge on perseveration, with phrases compulsively recycled beyond rhetorical effect.
b. Overly elaborate phrasing dominates, producing convoluted, near-incoherent run-on constructions that overload meaning.
c. loosening of associations is evident in the disjointed leaps between conspiracies, revolution, and intelligence services without logical cohesion.
d. Grandiose and symbolic imagery saturates the text, casting everyday matters in epic, apocalyptic, or quasi-messianic frames.
e. Neologism-like constructions such as “IntelAIgent Games” create idiosyncratic terminology bordering on private language.
f. Theme of hidden conspiracies and manipulation reveals a persecutory worldview, casting ordinary institutions as dark alliances of oppression.
g. Derailment or lack of clear narrative control is undeniable, with abrupt shifts and intrusive insertions, such as the sudden “MI6” clause, disrupting coherence entirely.
h. Cognitive disorganization dominates the overall structure, creating a rhythm that feels pressured, chaotic, and unstable.
i. Schizophrenia spectrum disorders immediately come to mind as the clinical domain where such patterns frequently appear. and finally
j. Loose associations, tangentiality, pressured speech radiate through the passage, giving the impression of uncontrolled, manic, or psychotic thought-flow rather than intentional prose. Without broader clinical context, one cannot diagnose, but taken at face value, the style resonates less as deliberate political metaphor and more as a written symptom cluster of disordered thought.
You give amanfrommars1 far too much credit. It's been around for years, it's always like this and probably won't ever change until someone stops doing it. I presume it's an in-joke being kept going by someone at the register.
I used to think it was a semi serious attempt by someone to create an automated chat bot, but given how it hasn't really changed for years (except maybe its posts getting longer) I think it's just being kept going out of habit by someone as a pet project.
I would genuinely be interested in knowing the real story behind it. But I'll be careful what I wish for, the real story night be tediously dull and not the tip of the gloriously wonderful iceberg I secretly hope it is.
And there you have it, El Regers, .... straight from the horse's loud mouth of an Anonymous Coward ....... confirmation of that old sagacious veracity abbreviated as GIGO .... Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Thank goodness for the likes of jdiebdhidbsusbvwbsidnsoskebid though, whose secret hope is no wild mindless guess of what everything is about ....... and especially so around these parts of the Wild Wacky Web.
I do know a small UK firm that might host an IT system for a joint venture between a branch of the US mil and a branch of the AU mil. Neither side want the data to be subject to quite a lot of institutions and that's as far as I go here.
It turns out that the UK is quite handy for being itself. The job does not involve zillions but is still reasonably lucrative.
Britain was disparagingly described as a nation of shop keepers and I do hope we keep our pinnies on.
