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.What it is with some people (mostly girls, I have to say)? They hop on the sunbed to get a bit of colour (nothing wrong with that you might say, and you'd be right) but then suddenly something happens to them. They don't know when to stop. And they go orange. Someone needs to tell these folk, and I guess it has to be me, that it is not attractive. It does not look natural, we are not fooled. If you think you might be one of these people, try this simple test: switch on your TV and turn the colour knob all the way, all the way up. See the colour the actors go? Now look in a mirror. Do you look like that? If so then you have gone one segment too far. Another symptom that accompanies this condition is the sudden predilection for too much gel in the hair (boys) or the tying of hair in a pineapple-on-the-head style (girls). Yuk.
