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.Sergio Aguero has alleged in his official biography that former Manchester City team-mate Mario Balotelli would jokingly say f*** the police when they came calling for him at the training ground.
In his official biography 'Born to Rise', which is not out until next Thursday, the Argentine striker writes that the Italian, who is now at Liverpool, was "always seeking attention".
Aguero writes: “He [Balotelli] would say things like, ‘The police have just followed me all the way to the training ground and want to talk to me,’ and I’d say, ‘No wonder! You’ve probably just broke the speed limit or bumped into somebody!
“Sometimes he’d get a message from reception saying the police wanted to speak to him and he’s say ‘F*** the police!’
“Then he’d say that he may have driven past the police pretty quickly and that could be the reason. He was always seeking attention.”
