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.After previous novels set in the Welsh valleys, Barry Pilton's latest full-bodied farce is set in the tiny town of Abernant.
Outsiders might be charmed by the area's natural beauty, but locals regard their home as a godforsaken hellhole. When news of an act of vandalism puts the town firmly on the map - shocking the leading lights of the Welsh art world - the police station is forced to re-call essential personnel from the nearby doughnut shop. Described as "Postman Pat for adults" , Pilton's fertile imaginings are more about rural depravity than deprivation.
