Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 2hI agree the political left is always bitterly divided, in a constant arms race for purity, the political right by contrast is always united by its core values of hate & greed. 010 0

Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Forgive me if this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but I sometimes feel that every left wing organisation - even centre-right ones like the BBC & the Labour Party - have been infiltrated by far-right libertarian interventionists dedicated to destroying them. 221 0
Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 15/10/2026I would agree with those on the poltical right who say that the left are often not sufficiently sceptical about human motivation but that is no excuse for seeing a tainted world & spending your life trying to make it worse. 011 0

Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Unfortunately, the bleedingly obvious needs stating, often. Emperors new clothes & all that. People are too ignorant or invested to see things as they are. Most of my pronouncements - about 1 in 10 I actually post - are there to assuage my existential dread more than for the benefit of others. 000 0
Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Xitter seems increasingly full of propaganda posts lauding AI results in Maths & Science, doubtless paid for by AI companies. They forget how science works, the need for funding, & for experimental validation. Much is finding things no one was ever funded to look for & which need no validation. 231 0

Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Between them, the relentless lies promulgated by the MSM & the social media echo chamber reinforcing said lies somehow manage to mesmerise people into voting against their own best interests. 110 0

Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Sir Kier Starmer came late to politics. We have grown used to people who have spent their whole life learning to lie convincingly. Unfortunately, his centrist transphobic the-ends-justify-the-means approach proved his undoing. 121 0

Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Were one ever so slightly paranoid, one might imagine that we were already living in some incipient cryptofascist dystopia, where equality commissions make society less equal & social mobility tsars make it less socially mobile.

Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 10/10/2026A more obviously left leaning Labour Party would be better for everyone, rich & poor alike. The media did for Corbyn & is doing the same for polanski. If the UK had a fair & unbiased media, Brexit, Boris, & Truss would never have happened. 1146 0
Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 10/10/2026This used to be called blasphemy. "There is bo evidence of this." You can't go to a place that does not exist & meet a figment of your imagination, so certainly no evidence. 000 0
Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 09/10/2026A Labour Party imbued with a more obviously left leaning perspective would be better for all of us. A media-led "conspiracy" did for Corbyn. If we had a fair & unbiased media, Brexit & Boris would never have seen the light of day. 130 0
Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Nor does it apply to me, but it clearly applies to lots people as they age, which has always been my expectation. The only problem with the graphic is defining Labour as the most left wing party, which it hasn't been for so long. 010 0
Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 09/10/2026They did for Corbyn. Now, they are doing for Polanski in the same way. Israel's iron grip on all aspects of the British Establishment is just getting tighter. 080 0

Dr Darren R Flower @drdarrenrflower.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Truss blames an independent Bank of England, Human Rights Act, Tax Credits, Equality Act, Supreme Court, & climate measures for breaking Britain. These are good things that make Britain better. She should look at all the privatized companies doing the opposite to what Keith Joseph promised. 010 0
