Spain's King Felipe VI had rocks, mud and stones thrown at him as he visited the province of Valencia.

Flash floods have killed 211 people, almost all of them in the Valencia province in the east of the country.

The King wanted to speak to the protesters but they told him he arrived days too late. They told the King that he and his government were warned about the floods but did nothing to prevent them.

The protesters also attacked the vehicle containing Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

I have an Iberian Jew in the DNA woodpile. Might explain why I like Spanish oranges but not football.

Yeah. Football is usually played on the Sabbath. So Jews don't really like it.

Similarly, I'm British but have a bit of Norwegian ancestry so that explains why I like this time of year when it gets dark at 4pm.

23.5° or death?

Yeah. I love this time of year when there's hardly any light. I love the darkness. Must be because of my Norwegian great-great-great-grandfather or something like that.
