LETTER:Howarth's accurate assessment
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.From Mr Robin Alexander
Sir: I find the description of John Major by Andrew Marr and other commentators as a "decent man" incomprehensible. He is answerable for, inter alia, the vicious jobseeker's allowance, the cut in income support help for mortgage payers and the consequent increase in homelessness, the anti- democratic Criminal Justice Act, the Asylum and Immigration Bill, the sackings of hundreds of teachers, the planned closure of Bart's hospital - the oldest public hospital in the world - and the general wrecking of parts of the NHS. The list of the depravities perpetrated by his ministers for which he must take ultimate responsibility is endless. Some decency.
Yours faithfully,
Robin Alexander
