The owner of and absolute unquestionable algorithm controller of a preferred communications channel of the UK Government calling for violence and the overthrow of the UK Government.

Absolutely insane to me that the government, politicians, and newspapers litigate at length every minor mistake by the BBC, rival newspapers, or what some random columnist has posted.

But all of them just carry on not even commenting about this major media owner.

Superb reporting from The Guardian 👏

From those who don’t know Haykluyt, it’s basically a private intelligence agency. Their clients are multinationals, billionaires and wealthy individuals seeking to sabotage enemies or gather extremely sensitive information.

They call themselves “strategic advisory” but make no mistake, these people are spooks.

Hayklut’s chairman, Lord Paul Deighton, is probably one the most connected man in Britain.

He is the chairman of Goldman Sachs in London

He is a close friend of David Cameron.

He sits in the House of Lords.

He is the current chair of The Economist.

Deighton was also the guy in charge of PPE contracts during Covid:

Lord Deighton has helped the government award billions of dollars in contracts –– including hundreds of millions to several companies where he has financial interests or personal connections.

The fact private water companies are hiring spooks to oppose nationalization is alarming.

Peter Thiel signed a massive contract with the NHS

But most UK hospitals say it’s totally useless:

Palantir, co-founded by billionaire and Trump donor Peter Thiel—who once claimed the NHS “makes people sick”—is known for its secretive operations and controversial clients.

Now, nearly 18 months after the Palantir NHS contract was signed, Democracy for Sale can reveal that many English hospitals have a different, unexpected objection: Palantir’s software simply isn’t good enough.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust was even more blunt, telling NHS England in a private letter that adopting some of the tools on Palantir’s platform would lead it to “lose functionality rather than gain it.”

I’m a Foreigner. I clearly see corruption.

This is money stolen from the NHS. These people robbed the NHS.

The fact many Britons aren’t angry and in the streets absolutely infuriates me.

People should be literally showing up at the homes of Boris Johnson and Dominic Cumming. People should be SCREAMING on them. These scumbags should be terrified. I understand the British aren’t culturally the French, but still : /

No offense to the wonderful British people, but a lot of your press is trash.

• The Sun ? Trash.

• The Daily Mail. Largely non-sense.

• The Telegraph ? Official newspaper of the Tory Party. Used to employ Boris Johnson. He was lavishly paid to publish non-sense about the EU.

• The Independent ? Now owned by Saudi Arabia and a Russian mobster.

• The Times ? Owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World. The CEO is Rebekka Brooks, former editor of News of the World. She is an actual criminal.

• The Economist ? The current chairman Paul Deighton, a friend of David Cameron. He is a Tory Lawmaker (House of Lords) that was in charge of Covid PPE contracts. According to the New York Times, Deighton gave huge contracts to companies he owned.

The only two UK papers that I actually admire are The Financial Times and The Guardian.

I’m sure there are wonderful local newspapers in Wales, Scotland, and major cities, but overall the situation looks quiet grim.
