Peter Thiel signed a massive contract with the NHS

But most UK hospitals say it's totally useless:

Palantir, co-founded by billionaire and Trump donor Peter Thiel—who once claimed the NHS “makes people sick”—is known for its secretive operations and controversial clients.

Now, nearly 18 months after the Palantir NHS contract was signed, Democracy for Sale can reveal that many English hospitals have a different, unexpected objection: Palantir’s software simply isn’t good enough.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust was even more blunt, telling NHS England in a private letter that adopting some of the tools on Palantir’s platform would lead it to “lose functionality rather than gain it.”

I'm a Foreigner. I clearly see corruption.

This is money stolen from the NHS. These people robbed the NHS.

The fact many Britons aren't angry and in the streets absolutely infuriates me.

People should be literally showing up at the homes of Boris Johnson and Dominic Cumming. People should be SCREAMING on them. These scumbags should be terrified. I understand the British aren't culturally the French, but still : /

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
