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.For Londoners keen to escape the city for a bracing blast of sea air on a promenade or in a deckchair, the resort to head for is Broadstairs, according to the new edition of the Heinz Guide to British Beaches 1994 (Vermilion, pounds 6.99). Broadstairs, once
the summer haunt of Charles Dickens, is described as having 'among the most pleasing' promenade, harbour and bay in the whole of south-east England.
The award for the best beach in the north Kent area goes to Botany Bay: 'a clean sun trap sheltered by white cliffs and with several hundred yards of gorgeous sands.'
