Simon English: It may be time to forgive as misery goes on in City
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.Outlook If your reaction to the following is "good, they deserve it," that's fair enough.
But the City is a miserable place just now. Pressured and tired. There's no fun and not much money. And everyone despises the people who work there.
The boss of one investment bank says he tells his staff to be low key in all situations, especially if doing business outside London. "I say to them: remember people hate you. That's your starting point."
At some point we shall have to forgive these guys, if only out of Christian kindness.
Not yet, you are saying.
