Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

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.

'Viererreihe' #FotoVorschlag
schon mal gebracht, aber es passt so gut 😊
Das Bild zeigt mehrere Personen, die nebeneinander von links nach rechts über einen gepflasterten Weg im Freien gehen. Sichtbar sind ausschließlich ihre Beine und Füße; die Oberkörper sind außerhalb des Bildausschnitts. Die Personen tragen überwiegend helle Hosen und unterschiedliche Schuhe, darunter Turnschuhe und Freizeitschuhe. Im unteren Teil des Bildes befindet sich eine große Wasserfläche, in der sich die gehenden Personen deutlich spiegeln. Die Spiegelung ist leicht verzerrt, was auf eine ruhige, aber nicht vollkommen glatte Wasseroberfläche hindeutet. Im Hintergrund erkennt man eine grüne Parklandschaft mit Rasen und Bäumen, die ebenfalls im Wasser reflektiert wird. Das Licht wirkt natürlich und freundlich, vermutlich Tageslicht, wodurch kräftige Grün- und Blautöne entstehen.

Maschsee in Hannover,
ein sehr kalter nebeliger Tag
Ein Holzsteg vor dem 6 kleine rote Segelboote im Winterlager liegen. Die Segel sind abgeschlagen, nur die Masten ragen als vertikale Linien empor und spiegeln sich im leicht gefrorenen Wasser. Der See liegt im dichten Nebel.
