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.The Brixton Brasserie is the sort of ideal world you see in the movies but not much in real life, a place where staff and customers
comprise an equal racial and sexual mix and
everyone's just getting on with having a nice time. In fact there's nothing much in terms of cultural
imperialism here at all: food is a mixture of Caribbean (jerk chicken with rice and peas pounds 6.95) and Cleethorpes (baskets of fried seafood pounds 3.95 small, pounds 6.95 large). It's loud and private at the same time, tables
generously spaced, staff speedy but not cloyingly friendly. If you don't want to eat you can toy with a plate of fried plantain at pounds 1.50 and watch the world go by. Close to the Brixton Academy if you want to get down later.
