Letter: Don't blame the Germans: the fault lies with the British PM and his Chancellor
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: Surely, one of the most dismaying aspects of Wednesday's sterling crisis was the attitude of the dealer interviewed on ITV's News at Ten, who had enjoyed a 'good day'.
If Britain were at war, no doubt he and his fellow young dealers (shown drinking happily in a City bar) would have fought for their country, and I expect that many of them would have conducted themselves heroically. In this battle of the pound, though, they fought against the economic good of their country and most of their fellow countrymen (many of whom will fall in this monetary war, which benefited solely dealers, who made 'millions').
Yours faithfully,
