Letter: European mire
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: The corruption that has been uncovered in the European Commission is indicative of a more deep-rooted problem that we are powerless to rectify.
There are countries within Europe to whom these dubious practices are an accepted part of day-to-day life, inherent in social infrastructures and at every level of power. To align ourselves as a nation with such abhorrent habits will undermine the integrity of the British people. If we continue down the road of total integration we will be dragged into a mire from which extrication will be long and painful.
