Letter: To Hull and back
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 wonder what part of Hull the image consultants were looking at when they described it as a "miserable place". I've lived in some miserable places, and Hull is not one of them.
Perhaps instead of going to New York, these consultants should have read a recent edition of The New York Times, in which L J Davis raved about Hull, describing it as "a very matey kind of town" and "one of the friendliest of English cities". He was ecstatic about the beer in Hull - "the finest glass of beer I have ever tasted in my life" - and appreciated the authenticity and culture of the city.
Hull is a super place to live. Yes, it has its black spots, but tell me a city that doesn't. If this is misery, I'll continue to enjoy it.
