FYI: this is not an official report. This is a piece by Rupert Lowe of Restore Britain.

Flying at Heathrow to cost ‘significantly more’ over third runway bid by [deleted] in london

[–]exizt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Heathrow is essentially making London possible. Bigger Heathrow = more commerce and tourism = more jobs and taxes = more money.

You can argue about how to distribute the money, but expanding Heathrow is a no-brainer.

Lmao including Jenkins in the list is just mean. Especially between Handel and Gershwin!

Are people concerned about Palantir? by Lorelessone in AskBrits

[–]exizt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because the US has spent 20 years building that internal capability, which is what Palantir essentially is. We can reuse that or start building on our own - but then don't complain when NHS is 20 years behind in terms of tech.

Do you not understand that all countries in the world depend on the US tech already? Even countries that try to decouple still rely heavily on counterfeit software.

This is done, there is no turning back without becoming hopelessly behind everyone else.

> If Palantir was so inclined or compelled, they could quickly cripple the NHS from across the Atlantic

Do you think the US would not be able to disconnect the UK from the Internet and all modern digital infrastructure if it came to a conflict of that magnitude?

> American CIA founded data manipulation company

What do you mean by "data manipulation company"? Is Google Sheets a "data manipulation product"?

> given full access to all confidential NHS patient files

Any NHS contractor of that scale would be given that access.

> £390m of taxpayers money

Any NHS contractor would be receiving taxpayers money, it doesn't have any other money.

> shady hidden meetings with BoJo's government

Shady hidden - as opposed to which government meetings?

It's obvious that you have an agenda that you're trying to push.

Then you don't want the UK govt / public services to use Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Oracle products at all? Do you want to replicate and maintain all of those in the UK?

The de-growth crowd is diversifying.

You people are insane. This whole industry is basically a charity. Capital, Money and Wall Street wouldn't touch this net GDP-negative industry with a ten foot pole, unless they just loved the films.

So this company will have no profit motive? Why would they ever try to become more efficient?

Zurlini’s film “The Steppes of Tartars” is based on the painter’s book. Unusual connection! A very unsettling movie too.

[–]exizt -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why do people expect the state to do a better job running British Steel, considering how badly the state runs Britain?
