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.Trust the English – or should we say Celts in this case – to look a gift-horse in the mouth and demand that it should be put down. To listen to some of the protest groups agitating at the success of Cornwall's Eden Project in drawing visitors, you would think the attraction had already made a desert of the county even before it adds a new dry tropics dome.

What it has done, of course, is to attract far more visitors than anyone had predicted – two million as against an expected 750,000 to be precise. Which means more cars crowding the roads, more drinkers squeezing into the bars and more hungry mouths wanting to be fed locally. What horror! Think of the jobs, think of the income, think of the fame. Not in Cornwall you don't, not in the part of the country where the cream is clotted and tourists are called "grockles".
