Clarification: Sky News was not at the property at 7.41am. As has already been acknowledged, and as shown in the footage from 10.19am, Sky News was outside a property where Mr Farage was registered to vote at the last election. Sky News did not interact with Mr Farage’s daughter.
On a single occasion, we approached the property without a camera operator, identified ourselves as Sky News, and the adult occupant chose not to engage. We were seeking to contact Mr Farage to ask questions about the gift he accepted from Mr Cottrell. This is a well-established and routine journalistic practice when reporting on matters of legitimate public interest.
The footage clearly demonstrates that Sky News did not “hound” or pursue Mr Farage’s daughter. At no stage did we seek to speak to anyone other than Mr Farage in connection with this story.
@ZackPolanski - this is magnificent. Three things I can’t deny:
1. It is a video.
2. You are wearing a jacket.
3. Then you aren’t.
4. Then you are again.
Unfortunately that’s where the accuracy ends.
A few corrections for you:
Peter Thiel is not our CEO. Alex Karp is — and has been for 20+ years. (A lifelong Democrat, for anyone keeping score.)
We are not a “spyware company.” Spyware is malware. Malware is illegal. Calling a software company spyware is, technically, defamatory (don’t worry, we are not suing).
We don’t build surveillance technology. We build software that helps organisations make sense of data they already hold. Not the same thing.
There was no “private tour” of our HQ. There was a public photocall to which the media came. Hence, why there are so many pictures of the event.
Our MOD contract is not “the biggest defence contract in UK history.” Ajax armoured vehicles = £5.5bn. Dreadnought submarines = £31bn. We’re grateful for the work, but let’s keep a sense of scale.
We have no more access to NHS data than Microsoft has to the contents of your Word documents. I think you know this by now.
We don’t have access to patient medical records. Same story.
I agree that “nothing matters more than our health.” Which makes it worth reminding you of what Palantir’s software is actually doing in the NHS right now:
->110,000 additional operations
->15% fewer delayed hospital discharges
->7% more patients finding out within 28 days whether they have cancer
Respect again for what you did with that jacket.
