Letter: Vive la France, vive la revolution
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: Thank God for France! They are a people who believe that the first priority of government must be the well-being of the population, and that it is around this aim that national politics and economics must somehow be shaped and honed.
How different from the timorous and docile British. For 10 years, economic theorists have declared war on their immediate interests, reduced thousands to paralysed squalor, and taken possession of the only political instrument that might have defended them - but didn't - the Labour Party.
The greatest failure in Britain today is not the social and economic divide, or class, or the greed of the boardroom - it is the docility, subservience, and submission of the British people themselves.

Sir: Will 1995 make 1789 look like 1968?
