Letter: No compromise
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.

No compromise
Sir: Tony Blair expects too much of Gerry Adams and David Trimble when he demands that they compromise.
That "vast majority" in Northern Ireland who we all were led to believe wanted peaceful coexistence have let their views be known in election after election. They did not vote for "compromise" politicians. The Ian Paisley and Sinn Fein vote reflects the true situation. It has not changed significantly, despite the efforts of outsiders over the years.
A real solution will only be found when the Westminster politicians accept this and force the people of Ulster to examine their options realistically. Ulster will either be British or Irish. If they do not accept either of these uncompromising options, then Ulster must be declared independent.
