Letter: David who?
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.

Sir: Why is it that David Aaronovitch thinks the man from Guildford's remark about his name is racist? (Comment, 2 March) My grandmother's name was Margetts and she got called Mrs Maggotts so often, everyone told her she ought to change her name.
What an amazing catalogue of assumptions to make about someone he doesn't know and has never met. Could it be that he has assumed that the man is a white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant?
