<sigh/> Part of me wonders if Karp might just be mocking recent rants by the Trump & Tech Bro's gang. Part of me wonders if the UK government could get its sh*t sufficiently together to dump Palantir if he'd actually gone Full Bond Villain, and (say) vowed to forever erase Britain from the face of the earth.
