Letter: Referendums, North and South, for Ireland
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 M Blackman
Sir: P Tomlin asks (letter, 21 February) whether it is in the interests of Britain to continue to pour unending millions into security in Northern Ireland. He suggests that peace will never come to the province until partition is ended.
Given the interest that Mr Clinton and other American presidents, not to mention countless senators, have shown in Ireland, perhaps a compromise solution which would satisfy as many parties as possible would be for Ulster to become the 51st state.
Yours faithfully,
M Blackman
