People and Business: In a tailspin
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.TO THE Royal Academy, where British Airways was hosting a private viewing of the works of the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art. To the chagrin of the BA bigwigs, the prize draw was won by Charles Moore, editor of the Daily Telegraph, a newspaper which misses no opportunity to castigate the airline over its ethnic tailfins.
Indeed, its coverage of the subject invariably includes a gratuitous reference to Bob Ayling being the "colour blind" chief executive of BA.
Never mind. Simon Walker, BA's director of communications, is determined to get his own back. He is sending Mr Moore his prize, two business class return tickets to Moscow, wrapped in - you guessed it - one of BA's finest ethnic designs.
