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.1 An evening with Michael Barrymore at the Fairfield Hall, Croydon. Less laughs than an afternoon at Selhurst, but about half the price.
2 The most famous twin towers in south London - the pair of television masts at Crystal Palace.
3 Going shopping without leaving work - in the Sainsburys end of the ground.
4 The January sale at Dabners garden centre, Croydon. The perfect place to buy a new bench to spend Saturdays on.
5 The coaching skills of Ron Noades, one of the few chairmen with an FA coaching badge.
6 The Lord Napier jazz pub in Thornton Heath - the place to go on Blues night when your woman's left, your dog's died and Zohar is in the starting 11.
7 Frequent opportunities to go to Wembley - five visits for Palace in the 90s.
8 Marti Webb and Nigel from Eastenders in pantomime in Croydon.
9 Penalties. Although Zohar, with a 100 per cent failure rate at Palace, is capable of missing a penalty anywhere.
10 The rousing Selhurst Park cheers of: "There's only one Itzhak Zohar, one Itzhak Zohar. One too many."
