Charity shop finds of the day. The Oxfam bookshop in York (the one nearest the train station) had a nice selection of 1980s-era science fiction paperbacks. Of which I "indulged" myself. I've not read any Bob Shaw, or James White, and very little Harry Harrison. So it is time to rectify this

Six science fiction paperbacks by Bob Shaw, James White and Harry Harrison.

Today, I visited the National Railway Museum in York for probably the 4th time. And it was a pleasant surprise to finally see the Flying Scotsman on the turntable. (Bonus photo of the Mallard, because it's the Mallard.)

This morning I was getting everything ready before going to the airport, but I figured I *just* had time to watch #DoctorWho Daleks Masterplan episodes 1-3. (I.e. the new recoveries plus the one in the middle.) So I did. ("Priorities, dear boy" as the Doctor might say.) Great fun.

When Kirk and McCoy are on trial for murder in a Klingon courtroom and McCoy cracks a joke that gets a laugh from just one unseen guy up in the gallery. That's why I watch Star Trek.

Weird to think that Liza Minnelli and Dusty Springfield were respectively only 43 and 50 when they made their comeback records with the Pet Shop Boys. At the time they felt like ancient ghosts of showbiz past. The equivalents now (in age if not in stature) would be Cheryl Tweedy and Emma Bunton.

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US. A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.

Letters in The Times and iPaper that reflect the views of British people far better than the deeply partisan, stupid and disloyal headlines of the rightwing press. Showing there is simply no issue on which they will just calm down and support a Labour govt. Not one. Not even in a war no one wants.

Sir, For the first time I totally disagree with one of your editorials, which states that the UK should join the war alongside the Americans. To keep the UK out of this conflict is the bravest, strongest act by Sir Keir Starmer in this parliament. The Iranian regime without doubt is odious but this war is doomed to fail, just like the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is not supported by the majority of Americans and will cost billions of dollars and many lives. At least the prime minister has learnt the lessons of history - unlike his counterpart in the White House.
Dr Susan Kempson

PM is right to be cautious on Iran

I read James Ball's balanced column
"Trump's Iran gamble could unravel his
presidency" (The i Paper, 3 March) with interest and, yes, his all-guns-blazing action might indeed come back to haunt him.
He and his gung-ho colleagues may have read the room wrong and the American people will be furious if many of their young people die as a result of this war.
Seemingly diplomacy is at an end and his presidential call of
"America First" rings eerily empty. There is no doubt that the Iranian regime which targeted its own people had to be stopped, but is this the best way to do it?

My son was sent to the Gulf when Blair involved the UK in the last American-led fiasco.
He still bears the mental scars. Consequently, Starmer's reluctance to get involved now is good news to me.
L DGODDARD
ASHFORD

Those who criticise
Sir Keir Starmer for not supporting Donald Trump might consider the possible consequences. Has it occurred to them that the Prime Minister is trying to minimise the risk of Iranian retaliatory action, either militarily or by individuals, by refusing to participate in this conflict? His duty to protect UK citizens is a priority.
