Letter: Millennium wrecker
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.Sir: For those of us who do not believe that there is an intervening supernatural power called God, Sir Cliff has completely wrecked Millennium Eve and all future New Year's Eves by hi-jacking the tune of an ancient secular song.
Will anybody be able in future to do the knees-up bit at the end of "Auld Lang Syne" without fear of being struck by lightning?
To even things up a bit I propose that in future we refer to the celebrated chanteur and nice chap as Sir Harry Webb.
