Britain's National Health Service is considering a five year $579 million contract with vendor Palantir. The deal will "help the agency analyze medical data, detect patterns and ultimately overhaul its entire system."
Bloomberg reported:
Peter Thiel, who is still Palantir’s chairman, has described the UK’s affection for the NHS as “Stockholm syndrome,” and recommended that the country could “rip the whole thing from the ground and start over,” in a speech at the Oxford Union in January.
Wow, the Chairman insulted his company's client, one considering increased business with the firm. It's a PEU world.

And these are the people driving government policies...
