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.The Daily Mail was appalled to find that a firm that produces sandwiches for Waitrose, M&S, Tesco and more were "forced" to recruit 300 staff from Hungary "HUNGARY" yesterday, its front page screaming "Is there no one left in Britain who can make a sandwich?"
The article seemed to argue that the British public deserves better than a sandwich made by a Hungarian person and that the apparently over-generous welfare system has created a nation of people who feel they are above making the snack.
So for all you loathsome, profligate sandwich-dodgers out there, here's how to make one:
- Stop spending benefit money on parsnip crisps and Faberge eggs and cut two slices of bread.
- Pause your 15-hour Call of Duty session and generously butter them.
- Add a filling of your choice while thinking about how you can shirk work for the next 15 years and learn to sketch Jeremy Kyle's face from memory, probably.
- Bring the two slices together in a bready union, and laugh in a sinister fashion as the country goes to the dogs and Hungary emerges as a sandwich-toting superpower.
Here's a few early attempts from other British wastrels:
