Letter: Towering rage
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.

Towering rage
Sir: Reports of the possible demise of Wembley Stadium's famous twin towers appear to have sparked a peculiarly British storm of protest.
Since my first visit to Wembley as a boy I have visited the stadium four or five times a year for various sporting and musical events. It holds many happy memories. However, the only outstanding features are the twin towers and (usually) the playing surface. The seating is disgracefully cramped, the toilet facilities are hopeless and the catering worse (not to say scandalously overpriced). Those twin towers are unique. But should they stand in the way of the long-needed reconstruction? Of course not.
We have a habit in this country of being strangled by our heritage rather than learning from it whilst preserving the best of it. Let us not drown in nostalgia.
