I hope the police take this shocking incident seriously. Sending my solidarity to Salma & her family.
Boycott their products, strip the glamour from their celebrities, unfollow their politicians. Power is in our hands, the people, if we decide to delegitimize them.
"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.
The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.
