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.Excitement might be gathering for tonight’s Great British Bake Off denouement. But some of us are feeling rather sad that our weekly excuse to indulge in totally inappropriate innuendo is being taken away from us. No more soggy bottoms! No more smirking Paul Hollywood as Mary Berry comments on a contestant’s nuts.
The BBC might have received complaints from viewers outraged at the “smut” being delivered to licence fee payers in the guise of a cookery competition. But I’d imagine I’m not the only one tuning in to sample the sexual tension between Paul and Mary (commented upon so readily by presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins) - a recipe for entertainment that makes an otherwise pedestrian cookery format prime time telly.
As Mary would probably tell us, dirty jokes are only funny if you have a dirty mind.
