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 Australian Pink Floyd Show commenced their British tour in Plymouth...

PINK VOID

When rockers turn fifty

And light up cigars

Priorities change

So they lay down guitars

And pleading exhaustion

They open naff bars

Or tend to their fish farms

And race vintage cars

The minute this happens

Australians come

With counterfeit sounds

For a much lower sum

The punters, it seems

In the past have enjoyed

Aussie Doors, Bjorn Again

Now it's Aussie Pink Floyd

And what should we think

Of this living museum

Of sounds disinterred

From the rock mausoleum?

Strange in an age

Boasting Damon and Liam

That so many bucketheads

Flock out to see 'em
