Bunhill: Sorrow over tax office
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.LOCAL business people in Brecon are having a good cackle over a circular being sent to them by the Inland Revenue Staff Federation. The tax men and women are asking the support of local businesses to save the Revenue's offices at Brecon and Pontypridd, which are to be closed, it was announced last month. Their ginger group Sorrow (Save Our Rural Revenue Offices of Wales) are fighting the redeployment to Merthyr Tydfil and Llanishen, Cardiff. It doesn't seem to have occurred to Sorrow that the further away the taxpersons are located, the happier local entrepreneurs will be.
Sorrow's doughty slogan is 'You may not need us today - but what about tomorrow]'. Hmmmmm.
