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.It is difficult to say which is more insulting to thinking British adults: the marketing tactics of the Meat and Livestock Commission, or the latest campaign of a group called Vegetarians' International Voice for Animals.
The MLC is again this year in cahoots with Dutch and Danish intensive pig farmers in a marketing campaign entitled 'Creative Bacon'. Evidently, there is an EC bacon mountain. Their solution? Lumping British producers, who lead Europe in shifting to humane pig-farming methods, with the Dutch and Danish, whose intensive farms are rather high up in the cruelty stakes.
Meanwhile, the veggie camp, calling itself 'Viva]', is launching a campaign entitled 'Convert-a-Parent'. The last famous vegetarian to aim at parents through their children? Hitler.
