North of 200 healthworkers and allies with Healthworkers for a Free Palestine shut down the HQ of US tech firm Palantir for the afternoon - a firm complicit in mistreatment, military occupation and state observation across the world, remembering Israel's massacre for Palestine.

Palantir, show to the extreme right very rich person Peter Thiel, have recently been granted a £330 million agreement with the NHS to carry out information frameworks programming - which brings up difficult issues about what will end up peopling's confidential clinical information.

The company already works with the Ministry of Defence, the Home Office, and the border forces. When the Home Office recently asked for patient records for migrant patients but was turned down, Palantir got the contract right away.

The mass picket came on the second day of the ongoing junior specialists' strike, pointing out that the battle for Palestine and the battle for the NHS is one battle. Also, with additional activities like this, perhaps we can win the two of them.
