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.Sir: In light of the recent drama made out of the Arsenal v Sheffield United game, I must share with you an event that I had totally forgotten about which I saw in a football programme last night. I quote: "Manchester United, the best team in the land, desperately going for the championship, are being urged on by captain Steve Bruce. Unfancied Chelsea, in our first season under the management of Glenn Hoddle, are 1-0 up at Old Trafford. Mark Stein suffers a bad ankle injury and gets carried off. There are only a handful of minutes left. Chelsea have kicked the ball out so that Stein can be treated. United take the throw-in to re-start and fail to give it back to Chelsea. They want that title so much. Chelsea fans boo in disgust." It is 1994. Chelsea win 1-0, United win the title. I wonder whatever happened to Steve Bruce?
