Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

The radio star lives on. The radio star kept playing music instead of getting distracted by daft scripted reality shows.
I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were:
MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles)
Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna)
MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls)
MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

Car manufacturer's websites are very annoying. They're organised by model, and you have to dig down into each model to find the details of the features each one has.
What I want is to say here are the features I want... show me which of your models has them.

As James Watson dies, let's remember Rosalind Franklin's contribution to the discovery of DNA.
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

And like the original most people backing, it don't understand it, don't really believe in what they
are doing and do not care one jot what havoc it causes.

Four people were arrested for an “unauthorised projection”.
This is apparently what counts as a crime now
