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.Former Chelsea and Celtic midfielder Craig Burley has had the bust of Fernando Torres tattooed onto his arm after losing a public bet.
Burley, who now works as a pundit for ESPN in the US, predicted that Torres would not score in the Copa Del Rey for Atletico Madrid against rivals Real.
Torres, of course, scored twice.
But rather than back out of his bet, Burley saw it through and got the ink done at an American tattoo shop.
It remains to be seen if the tattoo is actually permanent (it looks less than completely convincing) but fair play to the Scot.
