Letter: God's wrath
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: Could it be possible that Patrick Moore and other like-minded astronomers are exhibiting "size-ist"' attitudes to Pluto (The truth about..., 22 January)?
Pluto should not be denied its planetary rights on the basis of its compact proportions. One can only hope that the Roman god of the underworld does not take umbrage at this sudden demotion on the part of his namesake.
