Letter: Modern child in the Bash Street timewarp
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: Nostalgia made me buy my young son's first copy of the Beano four years ago. He has his own computer and all the distractions of the modern age he lives in. Nevertheless, he quickly became devoted to the daft characters and waits each week for the thud on the doormat with glee. The old 'timewarped' format doesn't bother him at all - in fact, it adds to the comic's appeal.
As for making the Bash Street Kids clean up their act with political, cosmetic and environmental correctness ('Bash Street Kids' lesson in reality', 1 February) - can they at least be allowed to watch Romeo and Juliet?
Yours sincerely,
