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.It was never likely to be a meeting of minds.
That well-known carnivore, Helmut Kohl, the German Chancellor, responded to a gift of vegetarian recipes from Paul McCartney by sending back a copy of his own book, which, co-authored with his wife, Hannelore, and entitled Culinary excursion through German lands, features a variety of heavy meat dishes, including the Chancellor's favourite - sow stomach stuffed with spiced pork. McCartney, a vegetarian for 20 years, returned the Kohls' book with a letter attacking the `unnecessary suffering' that occurred to create such food.
