Palantir's continued existence depends on the Thatcherite consensus of privatisation preventing the adequate government resources being retained to perform what is a function of governance.
Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Before 2004, using your real name on the internet was the mark of an utter rube
listen up, stupid old fucks! nobody used their real name on the internet before facebook. nobody.

shouting "pseudonym" is like shouting "ad hominem": it would be deeply embarrassing if you knew even the first little thing about why.

Matthew Goodwin once ate his own book on TV after a wrong prediction

Nobody noticed his Oct 2024 interview with Nick Robinson included another promise to eat his book if net migration fell to 200k in a year. (It did: net 204k in year to June 2025; will dip far below 200k once we have 2025 stats)

This government clearly don't really understand the complexity or the danger of the situation. They show no sign of beginning to understand, and every sign of asking the monorail salesman how public transport should work. It's going to be an uphill struggle, but don't leave this to politicians.

Q: How do I unlock Sunglasses Macron?
A: It's very difficult to unlock Sunglasses Macron in the course of a normal game because it requires a specific and unlikely sequence of events. While default Macron is ruler of France, the USA must choose the monarchy path and then lay claim to Greenland.

Ultimately we've got to reckon with the fact that much of the OSR movement is merely reacting to indie TTRPGs' tendency to lose sight of why many folks take up the hobby: for a safe and budget-friendly way to satisfy the natural human impulse to put one's friends in some kind of fucked up labyrinth.
