Pedro Sánchez, the Prime Minister of Spain, gave a 10-minute TV address yesterday, which included a strong rebuttal to US President Donald Trump's threat to end trade with Spain by restating his opposition to war. "The question is not if we are on the side of the ayatollahs - nobody is. The question is whether we are in favour of peace and international legality," he said. "You cannot answer one illegality with another, because that is how the great catastrophes of humanity begin."

I wonder if what isn't being acknowledged is that the US is surprised Iran's fighting back with more, and possibly better, missiles than expected, and the air defence systems deployed might not be able to cope... BBC News - UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, PM says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqj9g11p1ezo

Today would have been my dad's 95th birthday, but he died just over two years ago, three weeks before his 93rd. He always joked that he was born on the day after Feb 28th, so had two birthdays every leap year, Feb 29th and March 1st. I always sent him cards for both days. As 2024 was a leap year, I was able to arrange for his burial to be on Feb 29th. That would have appealed to his sense of humour.

Decent British guy, PhD chemist, professional scientist, hobby writer, with stories published (mostly erotica), keen photographer. Co-carer of a delightfully daft dog and two beautiful horses. Pro-humanity, pro-rationalism, happily agnostic. Very broad-minded, supportive of other's life choices, tastes, hopes and dreams. We often learn by being open to try new things. Unenthusiastic about all forms of political stupidity and extremism. Despair of humanity growing up in time to save ourselves.

Dear bank. I didn't ask for paperless statements. Why nag me to use a "convenient app" to contact you? I don't want to use mobile banking, it's no use to me for that account. Why can't I sort this out via your website? Why no "chat" feature on your website? Why haven't you sent me the five-digit code I asked for TWICE to even set up on-line banking? Why don't you have enough people answering phone calls? Why have you shut every branch within a convenient distance from me? Why will you be surprised when I close my account with you?

@davidho@mastodon.world The people (the usual "we") had no say in the matter. Perhaps such senior posts should only be filled by non-political appointees, professional career Civil Servants, as in the UK
