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 Mrs Kerstin Lindman-Strafford
Sir: Some 18 months ago, I visited Cardiff with a group of other foreign journalists from the Foreign Press Association. We were shown the Cardiff Bay development; needless to say, impressive in scope and size. But it occurred to some of us that the plans that had been submitted for the opera house appeared to ignore surrounding buildings in an area where predominantly red brick is used. Any development should, presumably, consider the aesthetic impact of the whole.
Of greater urgency now is the matter of an international airport for Cardiff. A number of us could be heard muttering: what use is a grand opera house if international singers and conductors cannot fly in directly from European countries and elsewhere, but have to rock on a so-called express train from London?
Yours faithfully,
Kerstin Lindman-Strafford
