Letter: Britain's disgrace carved in stone
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: Sir Denis Mahon is to be congratulated on his analysis of the Government's unfair treatment of the Getty Museum over its acquisition of the Three Graces.
What is also of concern is that two highly respected charities - the National Heritage Memorial Fund and the National Arts Collection Fund - have allocated substantial resources to secure this beautiful sculpture for the nation. This could result in the V & A and the National Gallery of Scotland becoming owners of a glorious work of art stained with Government dishonour.
Yours faithfully,
HUGH LEGGATT
