NHS England says you can “opt out”, but the Palantir platform ignores it, overrides GDPR objections, and still gives contractors access to identifiable patient data. MPs and senior civil servants aren’t “officially exempt”, but their medical records sit in protected systems that never touch Palantir, creating a quiet, practical exemption for them and not forContinue reading “Opt‑Out Means Nothing If The System Opts You Back In”

Bathroom‑Floor Britain
Terminally ill woman died on a bathroom floor as more than half of nurses say they’re now forced to treat patients in unsafe, undignified spaces. A Marie Curie survey has revealed a stark and deeply distressing reality: terminally ill patients across the UK are being cared for in corridors, cupboards, offices and other makeshift spaces,Continue reading “Bathroom‑Floor Britain”
Tight Finances Always Hit The Disabled
MP John Healey’s warning that “public finances look difficult” is grounded in a very real fiscal squeeze — and yes, the pressure is being directed toward disability benefits, especially PIP. PIP has become the only rising part of working‑age welfare, and with Paul Johnson warning of an “extraordinary surge” in disability spending, the Treasury isContinue reading “Tight Finances Always Hit The Disabled”
Smart Growth Zones: Priced Out, Pushed On
Andy Burnham is being urged to replace council tax with a new property levy in the Budget. Would you support this change? A shift from council tax to a modern property‑value levy would make the system fairer for lower‑value homes but significantly pricier for many London households, so support really depends on whether you prioritiseContinue reading “Smart Growth Zones: Priced Out, Pushed On”
They Grab The Perks And Lecture The Public
Unelected Lords swan in, grab £342 tax‑free for a quick sit‑down, and toddle off — meanwhile pensioners are told to knit themselves a jumper and hope for the best. Guy Fawkes had the right idea about being fed up — but honestly, at this point, just fumigating Westminster with a giant can of “Anti‑Corruption Spray”Continue reading “They Grab The Perks And Lecture The Public”
Not Enough Protection. Not Enough Action
The Government says it’s protecting kids online, but half the time it feels like they’re just shouting “Be careful!” into the Wi‑Fi. It’s not safe for children online,” says the NCA — which is the policing equivalent of your smoke alarm screaming while the Government calmly waves a tea towel at the toaster. Britain’s FBIContinue reading “Not Enough Protection. Not Enough Action”
Club Med Wethersfield: Perks Up, Taxpayers Down
Essex’s council leader toured the Wethersfield asylum site expecting bleak barracks and instead discovered what looks suspiciously like Club Med for the perpetually displaced — a gym, football pitch, snack bar and a fleet of 17 minibuses chauffeuring residents into town like they’re on an all‑inclusive getaway. Welcome to Holiday Camp UK, where 800 veryContinue reading “Club Med Wethersfield: Perks Up, Taxpayers Down”
Affordable Homes: Gone Since ’98 — Replaced By luxury Shoeboxes
Affordable social housing didn’t disappear — it just slipped out for a “quick refurb” in 1998 and never came back, leaving London staring at an empty plot and saying, “Right… so we’re just doing £2,300-a-month shoeboxes now?” Rents are so extortionate now that even the landlord’s calculator is saying, “Be serious, mate.” London rents areContinue reading “Affordable Homes: Gone Since ’98 — Replaced By luxury Shoeboxes”
Open Up For The Tax Man — Or Cough Up The Fine
Inspectors will be sent to high‑value homes — and owners could be forced to cough up thousands under Burnham’s new levy. HMRC agents will now be knocking on £2 million‑plus doors like they’re delivering a parcel — except instead of a box, it’s a tax bill the size of your hallway. If you slam the doorContinue reading “Open Up For The Tax Man — Or Cough Up The Fine”
Reform: The Rich Rise, The Rest Get Stripped
Voting Reform is like cutting your own lifeboat because you don’t like the people on the next raft. Reform voters: turkeys voting for Christmas — and they’ve already basted themselves. However, Turkeys are way smarter — they’d never vote for the chef holding the carving knife. What do we have to look forward to underContinue reading “Reform: The Rich Rise, The Rest Get Stripped”
