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.AS Captain Moonlight seems so keen that the Sphinx's beard should be returned to its rightful owner ('Return to lender', 20 March), perhaps he could also lobby the Queen for the return of the 'Koh-i-Noor' diamond to either India or Pakistan from where it was taken when Britain invaded the Punjab in 1849.

. . . . return of the Benin Bronzes is long overdue.

WE'VE HAD 'the loud Ulster voice' and now, in your editorial 'We guard our freedom' (20 March), 'the quiet Ulster voice'. Can we still count on the excellent IoS to sound the tones in between?

WHY this modern obsession that there must be a winner at all costs, even if it means, as in the England v Wales match at Twickenham on 19 March, resorting to a points differential? This is no true reflection of the difference between two sides ('England slams the door', 20 March). A draw is a draw. Let's be honest enough to say so.

DR TOM SAUNDERS ('Food scares: a consumers' guide', Review, 20 March) should consider value when endorsing certain foods.
For example, potato crisps cost approximately 25p for a 30g bag. This amounts to pounds 3.75/lb for what is after all just potato.
