Letter: Heritage hokum
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.CLAUDE BLAIR's letter, 'Well on the way to privatising the national heritage' (9 August) is a travesty of the truth.
There is no plan to transfer part of the Royal Armouries from the Tower of London 'to form part of a theme park in Leeds'. There is a plan to move some of the collection of the Royal Armouries presently inadequately housed in the Tower to a new national museum in Leeds where it can be properly displayed.
