BUNHILL:Off with you
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.I MUST have been off my trolley to have suggested the idea of new regulatory bodies starting with the letters Of-. Poor David Bowen had to bear the first onrush of suggestions but still they are pouring in. New horrors range from Offenbach (to con trol noise pollution caused by pets), Offchance (gamblers), Offside (linesmen), Offbeat (policemen), Often (Prime Minister) and Offhand, Offputting and Offtolunch (all applicable to shop assistants).
But this week's prize goes to Simon Coombe of Jersey who came up, inter alia, with Offpeak (mountain guides), Offshore (deep sea fishermen), Offline (laundries) and Offspring (bedding industry). Mr Combe will receive a bottle of nourishing Laurent Perrier fizz. And now eff off the lot of you.
