Letter: Malaysian views on media freedom; British attitudes to aid and trade
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: Aid should be given to the poor, not to countries that have economies strong enough to benefit our own. If the Government needs a slush fund to 'win' trade, then it should create one and place it at the disposal of the DTI, instead of dissembling under the guise of charity. It does, however, seem a rather interventionist policy for the current incumbents.
Yours sincerely,
