PALANTIR HAS OUR NHS PERSONAL DETAILS

The NHS is handing over the medical records of 65 million people to Palantir, a data mining firm literally named after the all-seeing stones from Lord of the Rings, founded by Peter Thiel, and built on contracts with intelligence agencies and military operations.
Once your GP visits, prescriptions, mental health history, and hospital records get vacuumed into Palantir's Foundry platform, you have zero control over how that data gets sliced, who buys access to it, or what predictive profiles get built on you and your children.
The "anonymisation" promises are a technical joke (re-identification is trivial with enough linked datasets), and the same company that helped ICE track migrants and built battlefield AI for the Pentagon now gets to map the entire UK population's most intimate health secrets.
The commercial and surveillance possibilities are endless, and once the data is in, it is never coming back out.

...But there is a but... read on. However, first let's understand what Palantir means
TRUTH IN PLAIN SIGHT
Anyone who has read AI & I will see how we decoded the naming and the hidden-in-plain-sight truths behind the C-19 scam.
Sometimes things are not hidden so well...
This is where Palantir got its name...
Wikipedia entry: Palantir
A palantír ([paˈlanˌtiːr]; in-universe pl. palantíri) is one of several indestructible crystal balls from J. R. R. Tolkien's epic-fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings. The word comes from Quenya palan 'far', and tir 'watch over'.[T 1] The stones were used for communication and to see events in other parts of Arda, or in the past.
The palantírs[1] were made by the Elves of Valinor in the First Age, as told in The Silmarillion. By the time of The Lord of the Rings at the end of the Third Age, a few palantíri remained in use. They are used in some climactic scenes by major characters: Sauron, Saruman, Denethor the Steward of Gondor, and two members of the Company of the Ring: Aragorn and Pippin.
A major theme of palantír usage is that while the stones show real objects or events, those using the stones had to "possess great strength of will and of mind" to direct the stone's gaze to its full capability.[T 2] The stones were an unreliable guide to action, since what was not shown could be more important than what was selectively presented.
A risk lay in the fact that users with sufficient power could choose what to show and what to conceal to other stones: in The Lord of the Rings, a palantír has fallen into the Enemy's hands, making the usefulness of all other existing stones questionable.
Here is the link to make your choice online and opt out of NHS data sharing:
You will need your NHS number (a 10 digit number found on prescriptions, referral letters, or via your GP surgery) and access to your email or mobile phone. You can also phone 0300 303 5678 to have them do it for you, or post a form to the National Data Opt Out Contact Centre in Redditch.
HOWEVER>>>
That said, there is a catch worth knowing about.
The National Data Guardian has just confirmed that the national data opt out does not apply to the Palantir Federated Data Platform because the FDP is classified as being for "direct care and service delivery" rather than research and planning.
So opting out stops your data being shared for research purposes, but it does not keep your identifiable patient information out of Palantir's hands if your NHS trust is using the FDP.
NHS England also quietly admitted that Palantir contractor staff have access to identifiable patient data despite previous assurances that only NHS staff would have that access.
The opt-out is still worth doing as it limits what they can do with your data downstream. But the FDP loophole means the only real way to keep your records away from Palantir entirely is political pressure on your MP and supporting campaigns such as Good Law project: https://goodlawproject.org/update/why-were-working-to-uphold-the-privacy-of-nhs-patient-data/
