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.I'm starting to feel bad for Russell Brand now, Parklife might have proven the perfect rebuke for his sesquipedalian rants, but he must not have been able to close his eyes since the association was made yesterday without seeing Damon Albarn yellowing out the window of a Ford coupé.
Anyway, it took a few hours but someone finally followed up on the Vines by splicing his Jeremy Paxman interview into a verse from the Blur music video.
There were actually a fair few efforts but this was probably the smoothest, already having attracted 30,000 Likes on Facebook.
It features such classic quotes as "I think that's gotta change now, we can no longer have erroneous, duplicitous systems held in place", though is notably missing Newsnight's wonderfully over-ornate: "We don't want pedagogic figures comin' in and didactically shoutin' at us!"
The comedian-turned-revolutionary has chosen not to respond to the Parklife "campaign", if you can call it that, thus far, instead focusing on pushing out his 'Trews' (true news) YouTube show on Twitter.
