Letter: Seeing the light
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: As a child in Yorkshire I was told many horror stories about the Second World War and one of them was about double summer time and the problems it caused with daylight until midnight.
As a grownup in the North-east I again hear such stories and hope they never become a reality. With long, warm evenings people will stay outdoors, making as much noise as they would earlier in the day, ignoring the problem their neighbour has getting to sleep, ignoring the problems mothers have persuading small children that it really is bedtime when the sun is shining.
Let us have GMT all year round.
