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.VINCENT OSBORNE'S accent belongs neither to south London nor the West Indies; it rather suggests Eton and Oxford - which is surprising, since Vincent, featured in Channel 4's Electric Avenue, is a Brixton restaurateur desperate to establish a new base there. The cut-glass accent is the hook in a documentary series full of engaging local characters; the foil is Garth - builder, handyman and amateur philosopher - whom Vincent engages to get his new restaurant ready on time (deadline: two weeks). One projected opening day passes, then another as Vincent's backers get anxious; the loo isn't ready for inspection and the Bishop of Stepney is called in to exorcise the demons. It's not easy opening a restaurant these days, is it? RB
Electric Avenue' is on C4, Tuesday at 11.40pm
