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.Sir: In his article (Pringle's perspective suits Charlton", 13 March) Glenn Moore describes Martin Pringle, the Charlton footballer, as "a dark-skinned Swede with an English name".
It is possible that Mr Moore may have fallen into the common error of believing that Scotland is part of England. Alternatively, he may be unaware that Pringle is in fact one of the most Scottish of names; unlike many of the names widely regarded as being Scottish, its origins are not Irish and can be traced to an identifiable location north of the border.
