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 Tesco Extra in Horley has marked the fallen in salami, olives and green peppers, creating special Remembrance Day pizzas decorated with poppies.
The pies were spotted by shopper Ian Vaughan and were apparently the work of a couple of employees gone rogue with the toppings.
As the image spread on Twitter people were quick to make fun, commenting things like 'lest we forget the anchovies' and accusing the supermarket of cashing in on a day of mourning.
"Colleagues in stores have been marking Remembrance Sunday in a number of ways and we hope customers see that their intentions in this case were entirely borne out of respect," a Tesco spokesperson pleaded.
This is 2014 though, expect several thousand more tweets and a full apology by 5pm.
