Letter: World Cup rampage
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: As an England fan travelling to France for the World Cup next week, I am no longer looking forward to my trip, since the disturbances in Marseilles on Sunday night.
How is it that other nations can contribute to this football festival with joy, colour and friendship and our contribution is aggression, nastiness and darkness?
People like to blame the so-called "minority", but we as a nation have produced these people and we are all responsible for tolerating them. It is time we acted to ensure that they know that the "England" they think they are representing exists only as a figment of their sad minds.
We have stood behind the excuse of the "minority" for too long.
