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.

Flouting the law ...

From Mr R Phillips

Sir, Further to Steve Bale's Commentary on last Saturday's Wasps-Bath encounter illustrating the negative blight that is still apparent in our game, I would like to question further the complete lack of control of the offside law by officials. The persistent flouting of that law in ruck, maul and lineout is stifling the game, while at the same time an expansive and adventurous approach in the southern hemisphere is funding the new professional era.

Yours sincerely

ROBERT PHILLIPS

Redland, Avon
