LETTER: British spurn call to rise and shine early

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 Donald MacNeill

Sir: If Brian Wilson is so keen to have people travel safety in daylight in mid-winter Scotland, why does he have to tamper with the clock to achieve it?

Would it not be simpler for people to start work one hour earlier in the morning? This way, we could all keep in touch with our Continental counterparts while allowing our rural dwellers, human and animal, to work to a natural timescale - all in relative safety.

Mind you, an early start to the day would probably be too much for our MPs.

Yours faithfully,

Donald MacNeill

Livingston,

West Lothian
