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.

The leaders of the campaign to leave the European Union say that the argument for staying in based on fear.

A few conversations with ordinary people on each side show that those who want to stay in the EU are not afraid of people who speak other languages, are not afraid that if a foreigner lives here a British person will lose their job or their house, are not afraid that every desperate refugee is a terrorist, and are not afraid to believe that it is possible for 28 countries to be in a peaceful union and defend the interests of their own people while still respecting the rights of others.

They are also not afraid of saying that the EU is a very complicated and far from perfect organisation, but the countries in it are much stronger together than they would be apart.

Those who want to leave seem terrified that Britain isn’t strong enough to maintain its independence while also working with others. But we are actually quite good at that, having transformed an empire into a voluntary commonwealth and fought with allies in the many European wars that are thankfully now a thing of the past.

Vivienne Kynaston

Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire

European history is repeating itself. In 1940 Europe was engulfed with the spread of fanatical nationalism and fascism. Our neighbours from Poland to France were occupied and suffering from the terrors of fascism. Only Britain remained to fight against this terror.

The majority of the Conservative Party and others insisted that Britain should seek a “settlement” with Hitler and his Fascist allies and leave our European neighbours to their fate. It required a united effort by Churchill and Attlee to win a majority in Parliament to carry on fighting for our freedom and for the freedom of our neighbours. We fought on to honour our commitment to our neighbours and went on to create a deeper friendship and security in a united Europe.

And now Europe is dealing with a refugee invasion and a threat from Islamic fascism. And once again the right wing of the Conservative Party is insisting that Britain should withdraw from Europe and leave our neighbours to their own devices.

Islamic fascism is creating a tidal wave of refugees who desire to come to the UK. Hidden amid this wave are legions of Islamic fascists intent on destroying our societies. Following our “exit”, our European neighbours will have no obligation or cause to hold these refugees.

These threats require a united European effort to deal with the problem at source. Europe must remain united.

If the Prime Minister is sincere in his predictions of possible disaster were the UK to withdraw from the EU then he has, in order to keep his party together, allowed children to play with fire.

Shocking picture of yachtsman’s body

I’m really shocked by your front page picture (1 March) of the body of Manfred Fritz Bajorat. It’s disrespectful to Mr Bajorat. It’s disrespectful to and upsetting for his family and friends.

It’s extremely graphic content for the front page of a newspaper. Graphic content is all very well when there is a sound news-based reason for it, such as war or crime, but this is not the case here. The presence of the image is sensational rather than newsworthy – which is very much not something one expects from The Independent.

I have tried to think of a single reason why putting this image on your front page could be acceptable, and I cannot. I sincerely hope your editorial team will think very carefully before perpetrating another such error.

Hell is huge, long, difficult books

I greatly enjoyed John Walsh’s discussion with Sarah Bakewell on her new book on existentialism (29 February). I was particularly relieved to read that “incompletion is par for the course in existentialist circles”.

As a 17-year-old in the mid-1960s I asked for and was given a heavy hardback copy of Sartre’s Being and Nothingness. Fifty years later it still stands on my bookshelf, bookmark stuck obstinately in the Translator’s Introduction. A tribute to teenage hubris and pretentiousness!

It’s not xenophobia, just the numbers

Contrary to George Lodge’s comment (letter, 29 February) many people wish to see immigration significantly reduced not because of xenophobia but because this country is quite simply full (of people).

There is ample evidence of this in our hospitals and schools, on our roads etc. It is not a question of race or colour but of numbers, and the sooner those in power, not just here but all over the world, accept this and start to formulate policies to deal with overpopulation the better the chance of us not destroying ourselves and the planet.

All the talk of immigrants helping our economy is a sideshow and very much secondary to much bigger issues.

Firm takes a stand for equality

The UK gender pay gap is a scandal. Ours will be one of the few firms running with a clear conscience on International Women’s Day on 8 March.

We conducted a full pay audit in 2014 to make sure we were operating with complete parity. Fifty per cent of our employees are male, and we wouldn’t want any of them thinking they’re being paid less than their female colleagues. That’s just not on.

Asbestos campaign has more to do

Congratulations on achieving justice for mesothelioma victims (“Justice for the Asbestos 60”,1 March). It is reassuring to see action taken and some success for vulnerable people who have developed a preventable disease. Hopefully, other campaigners, such as law firms, unions and support groups will follow your lead.

Move this conference away from Jerusalem

We, psychotherapists, researchers and other mental health professionals, write to express our dismay at the decision of the Society for Psychotherapy Research (SPR) to hold its next international conference in Jerusalem.

Israel’s policies in the Occupied Territories, including house demolitions, movement restrictions and imprisonment without trial, cause insecurity, despair, helplessness and humiliation. They create family tension and widespread traumatisation, and disrupt child attachment. The calamitous impact of Israel’s occupation on the psychological health of the Palestinians is well documented.

This conference would be taking place a short walking distance from neighbourhoods where Palestinians are currently being dispossessed of their homes to make way for Israeli settlements, one among many strategies that pose a threat to their very survival in Jerusalem. SPR’s collective denial – or indifference –is evident in the conference publicity published on its website. Jerusalem is here pictured as “a city suspended between heaven and earth, East and West, past and present – parallel universes of flowing caftans and trendy coffee shops”.

We are shocked that, replying to concerns already raised, the organisers consider it adequate to promise to assist Palestinian psychotherapy researchers to attend the conference. This may ease SPR consciences but it is as nothing weighed against the political message they will be sending by meeting in this beleaguered city.

SPR’s name ought to be synonymous with intellectual honesty, independence, and a courageous resolve to deal with the truth. Hence we call for the conference to be moved to another venue, following the lead given by the World Association of Infant Mental Health in similar circumstances.
