Letter: Tycoon vs the euro
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: If, as polls commissioned by Paul Sykes have found, 93 per cent of the British people want to know more about the euro, it is not because there has been a shortage of people telling them why monetary union is a bad idea. I doubt that this 93 per cent will be too excited by the idea of another batch of anti-euro videos landing on their doormat.
The British people are intelligent enough to know that there are two sides to the argument. Many (including myself) have yet to make their minds up. Paul Sykes feels that he "owes it to the British people" to fund an anti-euro campaign. How public spirited of him. If he truly wants to provide a service, he should help people to make their own minds up, rather than ramming his opinions down their throats. A well-funded but balanced public education programme would be of far greater value.
