Palantir made £247m in UK revenue in 2024, including £25m in profit, but paid just £2m in corporation tax. But middle income earners get hit for 40% income tax, stopped at source.
Climate change is here, its killing our neighbours but most of Britain's media is passionate about extracting more oil and causing more harm. We need to put newspapers who love oil but hate our children in the bin!
“Animal dewormer and a drug used to treat scabies are being sold and promoted as unproven cancer treatments, a BBC investigation has found.” Disinformation at work again.

Palantir 2024 net profit globally was $468 million. UK sales represent 11% of their sales. So the profit after tax in U.K. should have been $50 million; suggesting something very dodgy going on.

❗️Zelensky: Today, many were shocked by another video of the Russian drone safari against people in Kherson. The man was injured by the explosion. The world must see this. It must see every fact that Russia has gone mad, and every fact that the Russian military enjoys killing and mocking people.
French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. You’re only diminishing yourself with comments like this.
More evidence that Reform voters are not like other people in the UK. Show them some potential corruption and they’re all in.
The entirety of the NHS, from inception, was made possible thanks to non-white immigrants. Every accusation is a confession. They don’t want talented people regardless of skin colour. They just want white people regardless of skills.
