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.These two "unseemly stories" are like the saucy seaside postcards of old, filled with oozing flesh and arched eyebrows, too clean-cut and cartoonish to be truly, lubriciously subversive. Mrs Donaldson is a sweet old lady who begins acting in role plays for medical students.
But this is not what gives her a new lease of life. It is the young tenants she takes on. Quicker than she can say "milk and two sugars", she finds herself sitting down to watch them Carry On in the bedroom in lieu of the rent they can't afford to pay.
Mrs Forbes is another sweet old lady from Middle England whose son is secretly gay except that everyone secretly knows, as this bedroom farce illustrates. This is smut with a nostalgic twist which will tickle you - and your mother.
