Letter: No pastiche for Paternoster
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 G. C. Turle
Sir: It strikes me that the redevelopment of Paternoster Square needs a special feature to focus attention and make it a worthy site for tourists to visit. A source of interest would be created by the erection of a tower clock comparable in style to the clock in St Mark's Square in Venice.
Twelve ex-prime ministers' statuettes, armed with a hammer, would rotate to strike the time. In the case of Mrs Thatcher the hammer would be dispensed with and a handbag substituted instead.
Yours sincerely,
G. C. Turle
