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: Most people will have been disgusted by the latest hooliganism perpetrated by so-called football fans. However, it was reported that one of the bars in the area was open for 22 hours per day - is this not asking for trouble?
Perhaps the answer is to stage all England internationals somewhere like Saudi Arabia, so that these thugs cannot drink and will not dare behave like this (or if they do we are not likely to be bothered by them for a long time).
