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.Sacre bleu! Another study, we see, has found that the British are really terrible at foreign languages and is demanding, inter alia, the appointment of a language "tsar", whatever that means.

Down here in the Third Leader Department, as you can tell from our opening remarks, we yield to few in the internationalism of our outlook. But really, what is the point? The battle is over, the Days of Babel are drawing to a close. And the British, with some support from our former colonies, have won. English is plainly the international language of the air, the internet and everything.
There will, of course, be those who will mount a defence of wasting the valuable time of our students on various outmoded tongues; ignore them. We believe, confident in the support of our practical, forward-looking Government, that it is time to revive Cecil Rhodes's great, ringing pronouncement: "Remember that you are English and have therefore drawn first prize in the Lottery of Life." And don't forget: when in doubt, shout!
