Severe serious concerns about Palentir and the Federated Data Platform
A huge spy company, with data from the
US, ICE, Israel cannot resist the profit to
be made from selling
our NHS, Police, Local Government data without conscience...
Palentir background Wikipedia
Palentir is a dubious underground company much involved in spy software, data collection.
A company may claim your data will not be shared without government approval
but once harvested, the temptation to sell it, or use for profit-say to insurers
may be too easy and too tempting.
Palentir has been given contracts for NHS federated Data Platform-all NHS data (and many other sources of data) all kept by this dubious company
Thiel hates the NHS, says it kills people
Palentir enables Israel's genocide, blackmail of "leaders"
Q: Are the Israeli secret service, Pegasus, Palentir,
the Chinese all part of a huge alliance obtaining
data and using it for nefarious
purposes?
A: Does the Pope pray?
Most of us assume the NHS is protected from covert private deals—but behind the scenes, a US tech giant, Palantir, secured a £330 million contract to handle NHS data. Why are campaigners, doctors, and even some MPs sounding the alarm? This episode unpacks the chilling implications of outsourcing our health data to a company rooted in military and intelligence operations with a history of profiting from human rights abuses. You’ll discover how Palantir’s involvement began with a free COVID data store offer that snowballed into a massive government contract—and why experts warn this could threaten patient privacy, data sovereignty, and NHS independence. We break down the ethical concerns around data security, US government legal powers like the Cloud Act, and the potential for corporate profit at the expense of public trust. We also explore practical alternatives: How British tech firms and homegrown data platforms could provide safer, more transparent solutions. Learn about the relentless campaigning from health activists, legal groups, and MPs calling for an end to what some call a “privacy disaster in the making.” This episode is essential listening for NHS staff, patients, and anyone who cares about the future of public health data. If you believe your information should be protected from global tech giants with dubious backgrounds, this conversation will empower you to demand better. Join Dr David Nichol, Dr John Puntis and Dr Steve Taylor as they reveal the shadows behind the NHS’s digital transformation and why resistance is more urgent than ever. It’s time to keep our health data in British hands—before it’s too late.

"The NHS needs to go" -and other right wing looney ideas
IEA, Kate Andres, Thiel (of Palentir), Trump, Farage, Tice, Starmer, tweeting Streeting...all want insurance based model-to make themselves millions!
CAUSES: not enough beds-UK fewer per capita than all but five of 38 OECD countries: France three times more, Germany four times more
Germany 29 intensive care beds per 100,000, UK has seven
Surgeons-half only operate once a weerk
lack of space, too few beds, lack of teams, anaethetists

21st and 16th liver and oesophagal
Korea, Belgium and USA, Australia and China better
Telegraph writer Philip Johnston jumps to conclusion private is best...
DO NOT CHANGE THE MODEL-MORE DOCTORS, SURGEONS, RADIOGRAPHERS, SCANNERS, NURSES, BEDS, FUNDING
US insurance cost my brother and his (high end) firm $26,000 a year
BUPA for 77 yr old is £872 a month
Beware Farage and Reform!
When people are poor,
depressed, fearful, confused-they may vote for a false god-Reform
who want to
end the NHS
exit the ECHR-which protects us all
so they can break all the rules-like Brexit and make sqillions from insurance, financial markets,
THE PUBLIC WILL SUFFER, GET WORSE TREATMENT. GO BANKRUPT OVER HEALTH CHARGES.
