Yes. Friends are teachers at local international schools. They feel taken care of so far.
I am more relaxed than most about Palantir's role in the British public sector, but this is disturbing.
Not only did the CEO twice use a slur about the intellectually disabled, the company account then reposted it.
(His core message on Anthropic is hateful too.)
Of the many poisonous legacies of 14 years of Conservative rule, the lining of the BBC with Tory nitwits, from Robbie Gibb to Laura Kuenssberg, has rendered the Corporation a reactionary mouthpiece.
A headline from GB News stating: Motorists switch to using public transport to avoid paying £5 daily congestion charge
In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge.
A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."

Always best to analyse actions of the current administration as: "what would a 12 year old boy do?".
