Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

I would love the opportunity to join the British National Party – and set up a new wing.

My first policy as the party's newest member would be to divide and conquer the current leadership and its manifesto. I would back Frank Bruno for leader.

The man is a British heavyweight and has plenty of experience of pantomime, so who better? Everyone likes Bruno, particularly The Sun, so perhaps they would consider backing us at the election.

This removal of the BNP's "whites-only" policy from its constitution – the very backbone of the party – is going to have a devastating effect. And there's the threat of a potentially strong and organised campaign to get black people in the party, to infiltrate it.

A concerted campaign could, I think, raise the kind of support necessary to succeed in changing the party. Most important is that it would take all manner of like-minded people to do it, regardless of their race. Who knows? It may be the shot in the arm our political system needs. A truly representative British National Party to show the current lot how it is done.

I believe it is within my power to do this. If Barack Obama can win votes in the Deep South, why can't I in this country? I can do what he has done, plus I have jokes, so I'm on to a winner. Who knows, if I manage it, they may give me the Nobel Peace Prize.
