#Petition #Palantir #Burnham A major investigation just exposed how Palantir’s NHS data platform, which cost £330 million, is a GIANT waste of money, with swathes of NHS staff barely using it because it’s so rubbish What’s more, the evidence used to ‘prove’ its benefit is apparently totally flawed and full of errors Yet this controversial company still has access to our patient data End Palantir’s contracts with the NHS & police Please consider adding your name https://act.38degrees.o...

#Petition #UK The UK #Shooting lobby is pushing to legalise shooting wild Parakeets Just what we need, a bunch of hooray Henrys with 12 bores, wandering around the countryside shooting anything colourful Now, Parakeet numbers have increased & they can damage crops & compete with native birds But letting hunters blast at them for sport is not the answer Wildlife management should be by careful, humane science, not shooting for fun Please consider adding your name https://act.38deg...
