LETTER: You are a road hog, I'm a careful driver
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 Phillip Hodson
Sir: Because we are English, our motorways naturally divide along class lines. The inside lane is for poorly motivated, non-aspirational inferiors who are not going anywhere and do not care. The second is for legalistic bourgeois plods who delight in imposing their rule of mediocrity on others. The fast lane is for a self-selected clutch of upper class outlaws for whom getting ahead is survival. If you want to change road behaviour, change the school system.
Yours sincerely,
Philip Hodson
