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.- VIVIEN Goldsmith (Personal Finance, Business, 27 November) considers it ``tempting'' for people to rove around building societies placing pounds 100 in accounts in order to make a speculative killing.
How good it would have been for your financial writer to advise readers to open up new accounts so that they could vote against merger proposals.

- WITH regard to ``Stuck on the Shelf'' (Sunday Review, 20 November), it is still possible to buy many of Saville's children's novels. He remains so popular that the Malcolm Saville Society, which was formed only a few months ago, already has over 110 members of all ages. Write for details to: 10 Bilford Road, Worcester, WR3 8QA.

- I WAS reassured to read that University Challenge is easier than in Bamber Gascoigne's day. For a moment I thought that I had become brighter.

- YOUR article on game (``Getting the hang of game'', Sunday Review, 27 November) is ignorant, as well as being ill-conceived. It is utterly irresponsible to encourage the killing and eating of woodcock, snipe, golden plover, lapwing, grey partridge, teal, or hare.
As Michael Bateman says, ``Mr Grout has never seen a Capercaillie''. It is surely obvious why not.
I hope you will have the good sense to retract the article and make a decent donation to a wildlife conservation charity.
