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.One of the country's highest-profile Indian-born businessmen has said Britain should close its borders to all immigrants for up to 10 years.
Sir Gulam Noon, known as the "Curry King" because of his ready-meals firm, said a ban was required to prevent potential racial unrest. "I strongly feel that whoever are the immigrants here, we better give them jobs and give them dignity to live here before we import some more," he told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show.
"I do not want a situation whereby a party like the BNP says 'listen, all your jobs are being taken away by immigrants'." The suggestion that a ban could last up to a decade comes from a forthcoming autobiography, the Mail on Sunday reported.
It said Mr Noon writes in the book: "We should wait for five or 10 years, until all the newcomers have been properly integrated and assimilated into the country.
Until then we should just shut the door."
