Letter: Let it all hang out but be warned . . .
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: Victoria Ward ('My room's a mess, but my mind is tidy', 21 September) is an enviably busy person with, as she says, tidiness low on her list of priorities (in fact, reading between the lines, at the bottom). Which of her low- level priorities will be the next to go, assuming, as we must, that her life will hardly become less busy? Which will be the next logically incompatible activity to be jettisoned? Cleaning her teeth? Switching the telly off? Closing the windows?
As everyone who has responsibility for more than just themselves knows, untidiness is sloppy, unhygienic and dangerous.
Yours faithfully,
