Evasive Trust: Letter
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 his reply to criticisms of the National Trust (Letters, 12 October) the chairman has neatly managed to avoid answering any of the points made so forcefully by your correspondents.
I cannot imagine that any explanation at the annual general meeting will provide answers. The National Trust is a stubbornly elitist body, many of whose staff are patronising to visitors.
My small protest is to stay a member of the Scottish National Trust but visit mainly English properties; illogical perhaps, but it also recognises that in Scotland these problems do not exist.
