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.

Is Danny Dyer the most hated actor in Britain? His recent indiscretion as "agony uncle" of Nuts magazine – his considered advice to a correspondent about being jilted was to cut the ex-girlfriend's face – surely clinched it.

In this lowlife drama Dyer plays a porn-empire boss with a woman-hating streak, so allow him consistency at least. Robert Cavanah plays his chief pimp, a ponytailed Scot named Woody who's supposedly being filmed for a documentary about the porn industry. The plot, concerning the identity of a snuff-movie killer, is a gruesome mixture of sexual sadism and sentimentality, made even less palatable by dialogue of quarter-witted aggression.
