Letter: Cancellation of Indonesian arms sales
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: The news of the go-ahead for the arms sale of Hawk jets to Indonesia gives the impression of "business as usual" for the British armaments industry.
If we cannot rely on New Labour to create an ethical state, we have to take the power for change into our own hands by consuming, banking and investing ethically: and joining campaigning organisations that have a firmer view of what is decent.
