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.Would you? Could you? Nigella Lawson's a fan, Jennifer Saunders fronted the online ad campaign but we're not convinced. Chocolate-flavoured Philadelphia? Surely that's the devil's dairy product.
But Philly has form with cream-cheese witchcraft – witness its sweet chilli version. The Cadbury's-infused spread launched last month and Kraft, makers of the monstrous mash-up, knew it would have a hard sell on its hands so shot a video of our concerns ("Chocolate and cheese? I can feel my throat closing up just trying to say those words!").
But Nigella's tweeted a picture of her breakfast bagel this week smothered in it. Madness or genius?
Well, it tastes like chocolate cheesecake, which many believe is a good thing. But we must fight this dangerous breaking down of barriers or face more insane creations.
Stilton Angel Delight, anyone?
