Misdirection Again...And Funding Opportunities For Certain Well Known Political Parties......

Quote: "... in the Queen's Speech setting out policy plans for the next Parliament, the government promised the data protection regime would be reformed..."

Translation: The Conservative government will, for example, sell all the personal NHS records they can find to Peter Thiel and Palantir.

....of course, FOR A PRICE!!

Take a look:

PALANTIR

OTHER SELL OUT OPPORTUNITIES

So......the Conservative approach to "data protection" and "privacy" is simple...and in two parts:

(1) We will sell anything to anyone.....as long as the price is in millions or billions (you know...dollars, pounds stirling....)

(2) We know nothing (nothing I tell you) about the concerns of individual citizens (you know...the taxpayers funding this charade...)
