Love this! We are inundated with potholes!
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.

What a fucking idiot he is
beggars belief, on a par of injecting bleach

3 More deaths from pollution. Medical insurance will increase.
I'm surprised he didn't want to put lead back in petrol.

Racist Farage chipping in (a fly round the the dog mess). I don't know if he's been to Wales as just short 1m people talk Welsh. A far chuck of the family speak Spanish, what's Farage's problem the poor chap is stuck in the 1960/70's. The would has moved on.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF JIM RATCLIFFE'S HYPOCRISY
1๏ธโฃ Complained about too many immigrants.
2๏ธโฃ Supported Brexit to get rid of immigrants.
3๏ธโฃ Promised to build cars in Brexit Britain.
4๏ธโฃ Moved his car production to France.
5๏ธโฃ Moved himself to Monaco to avoid paying tax.
6๏ธโฃ Complained about too many immigrants.
Ratcliffe is, quite obviously, factually, morally & intellectually wrong about immigration. But his racist comments will be 'both-sided' everywhere because people who simply don't like seeing non-white faces aren't ashamed to say so anymore.
