Letter: Challenging role
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.Sir: How interesting to learn that Channel 4 is putting its money where its mouth is - or is it the other way about? - with the operatic airing of fellatio in Powder Her Face ("Channel 4 screens sex opera on Christmas Day", 4 December).
Will the heroine, Margaret, Duchess of Argyll, be simultaneously singing an aria and performing oral sex whilst also elevating the channel's viewing figures? There is obviously a ventriloquist lurking somewhere.
But seriously, this performance will obviously be viewed by young and impressionable early teens, so it is to be hoped that the duchess's lover will set an example by taking pre-aria precautions.
