Letter: Dinner-party games
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.Dinner-party games: Who are these people?. You seem to have a penchant for using them as a classic illustration of - what? Typical IoS readers? I think not. The archetypal representation of Nineties progressive society? The statutory accompanying image for articles on present/future social interaction? These friends first appeared supporting the Real Life article on EQ ('You've got the brains but have you got the touch?', 18 July) and the associated theories of social change. Last week they reappeared as if frozen in time with Laurie Taylor's comment piece on racial gaffes ('Thank God I didn't say it'), no doubt epitomising a group of fashionable young liberals. Perhaps this could be the start of an amusing trend: to see how many diverse topics the picture could be pinned to - definitely a dining-in piece in the Review food pages or maybe a party of jubilant GM protesters celebrating a successful day's outing in the field over a meal of organic produce... The possibilities are endless.
