Scotland Yard are saying that unless they're allowed to spend £50m on Palantir, they'll have to reduce officer numbers? I can't see their logic.

This... sounds like a win-win? Oh no, not fewer police and no palantir....

It's just a way to pressure dumbass politicians into agreeing to give them the money.

It's all tactics

I've never met anyone who has good things to say about the met including police in other constablies, why do they still exist? Why do we need this special division just for London when everyone else manages to cope with just a normal police department that at least is beholden to the public.

What happened to policing by consent.
