Letter:Confederal Europe needs time to evolve
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: Today I became heartily ashamed of being a British citizen. Today ministers of the Crown went to Brussels with the express purpose of torpedoing essential EU legislation relating to the success of small business and overseas aid. And why? Just because HM Government has been either unwilling or unable to come to terms with the long-term so-called mad cow crisis and was finally brought to book by some equally intransigent Continental governments.
Two wrongs have never made a right. These ridiculous acts of Euro-political vandalism have disgraced Britain's previously proud position as the nursery of democracy and the Mother of Parliaments.
All the perpetrators of these childish acts should immediately offer full and unreserved apologies to the nation and our European partners.
