Part 3. No room for Palantir in Europe, any longer. Considered a danger to privacy & sovereignty.
"while his own company, Global Council, was a lobbying organisation for Palantir. So very dodgy there, and then shortly after that, like about 10 months later, Palantir got a massive, I think it was about half a billion pound contract in the UK for our defence. And that is now hotly disputed alongside the NHS1, and this is also one of the reasons why Sadiq Khan shut down the new contract with IMET, now Palantir trying to, so it's real battle on in the UK. So watch this space tightly, but as far as Europe is concerned, increasingly, this is not a coordinated effort, but everyone will be learning from each other, there is a real drive to keep American companies like Palantir with terrible reputations in terms of the personnel, in terms of their history, and in terms of the vulnerability in geopolitics out of Europe and actually have homegrown European alternatives instead. And I'm here for it."
