Letter: In Brief
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: I am sick and tired of reading of the woes of being a student in Nineties Britain (letter, 18 November). Students do face hardships but must accept that their plight is usually only temporary.
Well-paid careers in this country are almost exclusively taken by graduates. Those unfortunates unable to succeed in our education system will soon replace students toiling away in supermarkets, pubs, etc for subsistence wages until they complete their degrees.
Students and their apologists must accept reality and realise that further education is a privilege and not the disadvantaged area of society they portray it as.
