LETTER: Keeping the heat under his hat
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 Owen Surridge
Sir: Subterfuge is part of the armoury of every foreign correspondent, as I am sure Angus Roxburgh, the BBC's Moscow resident, is aware (Letters; "Hats off to the BBC's heads", 13 December).
It is no good railing at his masters' bare-heads edict, cocooned as they are in centrally heated offices. What he needs is a wig, preferably made of fur of the same colour as his hair.
Obey the letter of the law, Mr Roxburgh, and keep the spirit under your "hat".
Yours warmly,
Owen Surridge
