Letter: Proud to come from Croydon

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: Lynne Curry (letter, 2 July) may object to some of your writers mentioning their Oxbridge

credentials.

Well I object to yet another derisory reference to Croydon, this time to an imaginary Croydon Comprehensive.

As it happens, Croydon contains some of the best schools in the country - three are mentioned in your Parents' Choice: A selection of Britain's best schools. I certainly would not want to hide the fact that I attended one of them.

Yours faithfully,

LESLEY BOLTON

Croydon
