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.I MUST be one of the few people still living who actually knew Eric Gill. My father, Hilary Pepler, was co-founder with Gill of the Ditchling Community and I was brought up on the Common. I knew all the Gill girls well; the eldest married my eldest brother, David. I remember Eric Gill attempting to teach us children to sing plainsong. He was patient and kind. To suggest that his beautiful carvings in Westminster Cathedral could be in any way an evil influence would be utterly laughable if it were not sinister, leading us back to the Cromwellian times of statue- bashing intolerance.
