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 official textile designer of the Olympic Games 2012 will showcase her products for the first time at upcoming UK trade show Grand Designs.
Celebrity designer Jan Constantine was recently appointed two textile-producing licenses by the organizing committee of the London Olympic Games. Her hand-embroidered Olympic designs will be available for the public to order for the first time at the Grand Designs home exhibition held October 8- 10 in Birmingham, UK. The Jan Constantine Olympic collection will include cushions, throws and wall hangings.
A range of other Olympic 2012-themed household goods including tables, towels and bed linen are available to buy online at http://shop.london2012.com/.
Officially sanctioned Olympic products are popular with both collectors and the general public alike; during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games the government famously had to restrict the number of games-related products consumers could buy in order to prevent price hikes and stock depletion.
