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.Doesn't have the same ring, does it? Welsh on the rocks, please. Straight Welsh. Welsh whisky mac. I need a stiff Welsh.
Never mind: you can get used to anything in the name of progress. And the European Commission's grant of 1m euros to the Brecon Beacons to help re-establish the Welsh whisky industry is undoubtedly progress. It is all part of the European Union's drive to preserve regional and local identities: no one else is allowed to call their ham Parma or their cheese Roquefort or their champagne, er, Champagne or their whisky Scotch. But there is no law against Welsh eggs or butterwelsh.
And if the Scots do not like the extra competition, let them fight back with Scots rarebit. Double Welshes all round.
