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.A FAN of Level 42 has changed his name to include the pop band's original line-up and all their albums.
Antony Philip Hicks, 23, went the whole hog after first changing his surname to Lindup, after the band member Mike Lindup.
And when Level 42 this week released the single 'Love in a Peaceful World' from their latest album Forever Now, the excitement was just too much for him.
He headed for his solicitor's office and emerged as Ant Level Forty Two The Pursuit Of Accidents The Early Tapes Standing In The Light True Colours A Physical Presence World Machine Running in the Family Running in the Family Platinum Edition Staring At The Sun Level Best Guaranteed The Remixes Forever Now Influences Changes Mark King Mike Lindup Phil Gould Boon Gould Wally Badarou Lindup-Badarou.
Ant, a care assistant, who lives with wife and two daughters at Threemilestones, near Truro, Cornwall, admits: 'Some people might think I am crazy.'
He said Running in the Family was included twice because the original album was re-released and went platinum. He will lengthen his name as Level 42's output continues.
