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.

Ah, it is good to have The Hound back.

With things all set to get pretty serious heading into the final two Game of Thrones season 6 episodes, episode 8 (spoilers ahead) crammed in as many gags as possible, with Bronn teasing Podrick and Tyrion trying once more to get Missandei and Grey Worm to lighten up.

The Hound was on top form however, getting vengeance on anyone and everyone and having this quintessentially Clegane-esque exchange:

"Where's the other one, the one with the yellow cloak?"

"F*ck you!"

"Those are your last words, 'f*ck you'? Come on, you can do better."

"...C*nt!"

And then he drops this:

Gnawing on bones, Sandor later said he'd have "preferred chicken", a reference to his infamous and indefatigable appetite for poultry.

The Hound got his own back and then some this week, but it's unclear where he'll head next, King Tommen having apparently pre-emptively put a stop to the much-discussed Cleganebowl.
