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.In the week the Spice Girls debut single went to No. 1 in America....
The Life of Spice
Our own home-grown Madonnabes
Hands posed near naughty places
Their neat Miss Selfridge figures
Their Alliance & Leicester faces
With eyes which give the game away
You sense the smiles straining
When tabloids want bikini shots
Exteriors - and it's raining.
The wit and wisdom of their words
Are trundled past you daily:
"I used to breed chinchillas and
Me uncle lives in Rayleigh.
We're Tories but we're liberal
We're very slightly Labour
Coz Thatcher was a Spice Girl and
The Pope's me next door neighbour."
They're number one in USA
They're all extremely cute
Like pictures sold in Woolworths
Of some kittens in a boot
I bet the gruelling schedule
Can sometimes make them weepy
Geri, Mel, Victoria, Mel,
Er... Grumpy, Doc and Sleepy?
