Letter: Nail-bomb courage
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: Why is it that racist groups are always called "right wing"?
Is there any evidence to suggest that the groups behind the recent London bombings support, for example, capitalism, laissez-faire economies and free trade? Or is it just an excuse to demonise the right?
You'll find that racism is just as much a part of the left as the right, as recent events in the Balkans show. A phrase that more accurately describes the motivations of the bombers is "racist".
