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.

Amsterdam (AP) - The nation's fanciest bordello is trying to recruit prostitutes from the most prestigious university in Holland.

'Nice part-time job for nice women who like night life, luxury and high fashion,' reads the advertisement placed by Yab Yum men's club in the Leiden University newspaper's first edition of the academic year.

'There's a distinct demand for students among my clients,' said Yab Yum's manager, Theo Heuft, yesterday. 'Some of the businessmen who come here value ideas and good conversation as much as anything else.'

Although Leiden's alumni include Einstein and Voltaire, intelligence is apparently not an attribute required by Yab Yum employees.
