Chris R. Tame
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.The praise for Chris Tame in your excellent obituary [by Sean Gabb, 23 March] is just and right, writes Edward Pearce. He talked and wrote so well for true liberty in a time of sleekly incremental illibertarianism. But it is no criticism of somone combining high ideals with giggling good-humour to mention a vein of mild eccentricity. It only endeared him further. He was, sadly and ironically for one who died so early and horribly, a dedicated health freak who would keep up his exercises even in company.
My wife and I recall walking, arguing and agreeing with Chris along a fairly wide pavement. We walked, he, in his early forties, kept up (and surged ahead) on his skateboard.
