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.The Beautiful South have a new marketing campaign. For one week only, they will have 20 pubs renamed in their honour...
Promo Pubs
As cash changed hands, traditions fell
The Butthole Surfers (once The Bell)
Changed names four times within a year
The Sting. The Suede. The Chick Corea
According to the name each week
A place could draw a different clique
In search of beer, good times and grub
You couldn't beat a promo pub
The Bjork whose clinetele liked arts
Might thrash The Courtney Love at darts
The Clayderman whose crowd weren't cool
Would play The Christian Death at pool
The Lionel Richie lost all hope
And then became The Julian Cope
The Chris De Burgh, The Smurf by turns
But think how much the jukebox earns
And if you want a tune from home
Try out The Robson & Jerome
But if you really need some peace
I'd recommend The Re-Release
