Letter: The Welsh play to win for Wales
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.TREVOR Haylett ('Cautious Yorath fighting shy of counting too many sheep', 6 June), falls into the trap of adopting the all- too-familiar Anglocentric attitude of patronising the Wales and Ireland football teams.
The worst aspect was the glib assumption that, should Wales be the only British team to qualify or the World Cup finals, we will somehow be able, heroically, to 'save British face'. What nonsense. This is the same school of thought that brands successful Scottish athletes, Irish boxers, etc. as 'British'. Please support us if Wales get through, but not as some kind of England surrogates.
