How Palantir harvested millions in UK tax breaks
https://www.opendemocracy.net/exclusive-how-palantir-harvested-millions-in-uk-tax-breaks/
In 2024, Palantir’s effective tax rate was just 8%, far less than the usual 25%, despite £25.3m of pre-tax profits
Thanks Friends of Israel aka UK Labour gov.
The investment in crooked uk poliiticians pays off while the population suffer auserity.
Dangers of Asbestos.
There is literally no threshold for the carcinogenic effect of this agent
Most used was Chrysotile or white asbestos, especially in housing and motor vehicles.
Amisite or brown asbestos fibres are dangerous at very low levels. Also called Grunerite in usa.
Crocidolite is the most dangerous type of asbestos.

Mecanics I worked with laughed at me for wearing a mask or washing brake dust off with soapy water. They died nastily.
Searching for a Pfaff 138 Maintenance manual. Can not find.
Most of the maintenance work can be done using a Pfaff 130 manual, mechanically the Zigzag mechanism and head mechanics are very similar, maybe same.
The hook strip clean and timing instructions are also usable
Did a hook removal and cleaning, polishing a few days ago taking care not to lose the tiny guide plate and retainer bar screws. Timed with a 90 needle on straight stitch, no more dropped stitches.

On the older Pro Pfaff machines access to the Zigzag cam mechanism is through a back cover, the opening is small.
I have, for now, put off removing the fork slider guide plate, to do so I will need to make an angled screwdriver
Should the problem come back I will do a zigzag teardown
Remove needle Bar, Presser foot bar, remove the cam cover, remove the Fork through the head, clean, polish the plastic cam if needed. rebuild.

My machine started playing up during a jeans repair. Groaning noise and binding despite being kept well lubricated.
Initially I had not stripped the front mechanics, this time I did, removed some errant thread but the mechanism was free.
Problem location proved to be the Zigzag mechanism in the arm. Common on many Pfaff machines.
The plastic cam and metal fork sliding contact is cause, Washing with Petroleum and Teflon Grease
got me sewing again.
Records reveal $600M estimate for Trump’s #ballroom project, with MORE THAN HALF coming from #TAXPAYERS
An internal cost estimate in March by the project’s contractor ran $200 million more than #Trump has said publicly & counters his claims that no #TaxpayersMoney will be spent.
If trump ever speaks the truth it is by accident.
That is when his demented ravings actually somehow slot in to real life affairs.
France's domestic intelligence agency will stop working with American AI giant Palantir, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said on Tuesday, as European nations increasingly doubt the dependability of the United States.
Palantir is a big problem but not the biggest.
All international payment systems presently available in EU depend on usa software and approval.
MS dominates public offices
Understanding problems is obviously too much for the majority of politicians.
Pro-Palestine activists sentenced as terrorists over damage at Israeli arms factory in UK
Four found guilty get tougher conditions as judge says actions were ‘designed to intimidate the UK government and a section of the public’
Disgusting but
WHEN WILL THE FAR RIGHT BE JAILED USING THE SAME REASONING.
The door is now open to jailing the violent terror squads
Starmer Cooper Shabhana mahmood, we are watching and waiting impatiently for an end to flagshagger Terror on the streets.
European Commission @EUCommission
Von der Leyen cancelled Google Fines.
That is an Autocratic action by a not directly elected representative.
Google is not only part of the NSA, CIA Spying network,
it is also directly involved in Child harm and through its AI encouraged numerous Suicides.
From 12 May
The message from Europeans is clear: children deserve a digital world where they can grow up free, safe and protected.
SO WHY
is EU and Von der Leyen not fully supporting that policy.
@peterbrown
thanks for the info this needs a million boosts.

2012, in Shenzen a Nissan GT-R crashed into a BYD e6 taxi.
A fire resulted, three passengers died.
For shitty Elon Musk and Tesla nothing unusual. Same goes for other western manufacturers.
For the owner and CEO of BYD heartbreaking and brought shame on his family.
Morals are important.
The answer he and his engineers found and produce is why my next car will be a BYD.
"Don't send money to Ukraine if you want to boost economy," Hungary's Orban tells EU
As an EU Citizen I say Orban go fsck yourself, useless Idiot...
"Switzerland’s military has terminated its contract with Palantir… following a security audit… concluded that U.S. intelligence agencies could potentially access sensitive Swiss defense data…
Uk and Germany are hands over ears and eyes while further embracing Palantir.
Disgusting and worrying as the owner Thiel is an absolute lunatic claiming to protect the world from armageddon.
We need to protect it from ABSOLUTE ASSHOLES of which he is a prime example.
“I’ll say it clearly. No one is expendable in Spain. On the contrary, we lack people,” Sánchez said earlier this month. “Faced with the choice between being a closed and poor nation, Spain is opening itself to the world to ensure prosperity.”
Pls also Note: Spain is the fastest growing economy in EU.
Keir Stalin Starmer and UK Labour are in a hurry to stop trial by jury
That stinks of injustice and malice
Why, Because in upcoming cases of those arrested on terrorism charges for holding up cardboard signs a Jury is likely to make a common sense decision.
A chosen hardliner judge will follow orders from Israel funded UK Labour government and sentence according to the present principles.
Maximum oppression and suppression of peaceful protest.
Is UK heading for dictatorship ?

When Andrew Mountbatten Windsor leaves Royal Lodge, he’s expected to move into a home on King Charles’s Norfolk estate
The Abuser further rewarded.
A semi derelict council house would be far more fitting, except who wants such a disgusting person as a neighbor.
With regard to Mountbatten Windsor, the name is adopted. Windsor to hide the German ancestry of the Migrant descended Royals
More fitting
would be Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
Or Habsberg and Hannover
Oldenburg
“There are also a large number of people in this country who came here legally, but in effect shouldn’t have been able to do so. It’s not the fault of the individuals who came here, they just shouldn’t have been able to do so. They will also need to go home.
So Katie Lam
f off to the country of your grandparents. Or better to some desert island.
UK does not need your kind of divisive scum.
Sound of Emperor Penguins debating about Linux and latest kernel Image.

People please end your support for Microsoft, all they want is to take as much of your money and data as possible.
All most linux devs want is a reaonable a living wage plus smiles and thanks from happy users.
A reminder, you can run antiX or MX Linux from a USB stick. Remove the stick you are back in windoze vunerability land.
Need help please visit antiX forum.
For MX their forum.
@Kerplunk @Wen If the polling is anything to go by it'll be a massive loss in favour of reform, which is worse..
i find it very difficult to watch England plunging ever deeper in to a mire of sewage speech and vile hatred emitted by disgusting creatures like Farage.
People had hopes that Keir Starmer would do a good job for the people,
he has been disappointing on all counts.
Personally I think my vote will be for
Sultana Corbyn.
