Captain Moonlight: Garrick Club news
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.GARRICK Club news: the club, ever-mindful of the needs of its membership, a collection of endlessly self-entertaining lawyers, writers, politicians and gentleman journalists (Sir K Amis, Sir R Day, Sir P Wors thorne, Mr K Clarke, but not Mr J Paxman), with the odd actor thrown in for colour (P Eddington, B Humphries) wants to install a lift to get up to lunch, supper and the bar those on whom years of lunch, supper and the bar have taken a heavy toll. An appeal has been launched. The unkind suggest that one of those ski- lifts for the elderly that go up the side of stairs might be best; the Captain, for his part, thinks a proper ski-lift would be better - one that is like sitting on a large button mushroom. My ideal, though, is a transparent-bubble lift on the outside of the Garrick so that the less privileged can watch a flash of the famous salmon- and-cucumber tie below a face flushed with expectation or fulfilment, depending on whether it is rising or falling.
