Letter: And top o' th' morning to ya
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.From Mr David Craig
Sir: Please inform John Walsh (Diary, 30 November) that the people of Belfast do not speak as if they require a decongestant!
I am afraid that he is guilty of typecasting all "oirish" accents as resembling a Dublin brogue.
An Ulster accent is very distinct compared to one from the South, as I am sure one would gather from news items.
What will he have next week; us all drinking Guinness, eating potatoes, and saying, "By Gorrah, and top o' th' morning to ya"?
Yours faithfully,
David Craig
Belfast
