I think he meant to say 'goner', no?

I would love to see Andrew Tate's head exploded by a drone.

I completely agree. I doubt Palantir's objective is even to win the case. I imagine the strategy is to cause such a long and expensive process in the hope that the Mayor's office will give in.

I'm no legal expert myself but as way of explaination we have different courts for different matters. As this isn't a criminal case but a civil one of some importance, it would likely go to the 'crown court' and then to the appeals court (should one side decide to appeal) for a final decision, but I believe the appeals process can be very long and drawn out, which is I expect what Palantir want. Because they are cunts.

It is very possible and IMO absolutely vital that the government can be taken to court for their decisions in the UK. Government officials and departments should be subject to the same legal scrutiny as individual citizens, if not more so.

Furthermore, Palantir is a multinational company with offices in the UK so it will be the UK arm of Palantir that is taking legal action, so technically a UK company is suing the government, not a US one.

However, IMO they do not have a leg to stand on. The contract was blocked due to a unfair procurement procedure. Palantir was literally the only supplier invited to take part, the procurement process wasn't duly submitted to Mayor's Office, and the Mayor's office has a duty to ensure that the best value has been achieved for the constituents of London. So they are perfectly within the law blocking the contract.

Also, Palantir can fuck off. They're already harvesting NHS data and data from other police forces within the UK and our feckless government is just sittimg on it's hands while sensitive information if being handed to a fascist regime.
