A wizard way to sell the news
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.A daily news bulletin is set to hit the streets - printed on cardboard conical hats and produced at the site of a former Charing Cross public lavatory.
Behind the idea is a former barrister, Tony Samuelson, 65, who owns the lavatories opposite the Garrick theatre, St Martin's Lane.
Mr Samuelson, the Lord of Totteridge Manor, north London, will tackle the issues of the day. One cause close to the media mogul's heart is the English National Opera - he will call for the public hanging of its directors. 'I want to change the way people think. It is a scandal that public funds are wasted producing terrible opera when there are three generations of people unemployed.
The tabloid-sized hat will be sold for 70p from 4 to 5.30pm in Leicester Square and Covent Garden. Mr Samuelson says: 'It could be the most glorious failure at the end of the 20th century.'
