Petition: End the use of Palantir in the NHS and MoD, to safeguard UK national security.
Contracts involving UK citizens' personal data and UK's sensitive military data should not be contracted out behind closed doors to a foreign entity. The government should review Palantir's contracts ...

A superb article by Lewis Goodall on the background to the current crisis within the BBC
