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.JUST WHO is Kevin Cahill, author of those tedious and sometimes inaccurate rich lists (remember Paul Raymond being wealthier than the Duke of Westminster and Lord Sainsbury) that regularly grace Business Age magazine? In the week that the latest, 'Britain's paper millionaires', came out, a curious document reaches me. It is a prospectus seeking backers for 'Dado', an operetta produced by Mr Cahill. First aired in Dublin in 1987, Dado deals with such 'fundamental issues' as 'the two great forces in modern life, the state and religion'.
Mr Cahill, says the blurb, is a former professional soldier, educated at the New University of Ulster, whose 'subsequent conversion to non-violence led him to set up the Peace Study Group in Ulster and to campaign against militarism in all its forms.'
There is more: 'He has acted as Paddy Ashdown's research assistant in the House of Commons and continues to advise members of the House of Lords and the European Parliament on various issues.' What those are it does not say.
