Letter: Merry leaders
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: I cannot see anything mutually exclusive between sexual proclivities and ability to govern ('Libel action by Major fuels debate about press curbs', 29 January). As J. B. Naylor wrote in Vagrant Verse (1935):
King David and King Solomon
Led merry, merry lives,
With many, many lady friends,
And many, many wives.
But when old age crept over them -
With many, many qualms] -
King Solomon wrote the Proverbs
And King David wrote the Psalms
Yours sincerely,
