LETTERS IN BRIEF
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.l WATFORD is not the only club where Graham Taylor can expect a warm welcome ("Taylor back at Watford Junction", 25 February). I support Aston Villa. In 1987 Mr Taylor took over this freshly relegated and dispirited club. By 1990 only Liverpool stood between us and the championship. He is still held in the highest regard and if he came, would receive an ovation.

l ITALIAN titles were abolished by the Italian constitution in 1948. The only people who refer to them are Hello! magazine and now, it appears, the Independent on Sunday ("Woman of honour", Review, 25 February).

l AS WE all know, cars have long been regarded as an extension of the male member ("A car is a symbol of what?", 25 February). Is it any surprise that all the energy exerted in maintaining a dominant position on the road has led to a dropping away in the level of sperm available for reproductive purposes?

l YOU report that the BBC paid a six-figure sum to free Liz Forgan from her contract with Channel 4 ("New move...", 25 February). Can we assume that Ms Forgan (above) paid the BBC a similar sum to free herself from her contract with it?

l DOMINIC Lutyens says "Calvin Klein's jeans ads outraged Bible-thumpers" ("Move over, Schwarzenegger", Real Life, 25 February). Why predicate religious dogma as the reasoning behind moral value? I am not a Christian, I don't believe in God. I loathe images which implicate children as sexually active beings.

l WALLACE Arnold refers to the Conservative Townswomen's Guild (18 February). Townswom-en's Guilds, formed in 1928, have always been strictly non-party- political, being for all women, regardless of politics, race, age, religion or circumstances.
