Letter: Court out
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 list of humiliating vulgarities afflicting our cities and institutions (11 March), Sir Hugh Casson might well have included the Royal Courts of Justice, George Edmund Street's masterpiece, where coats of arms and the name of the building in hideous Disneyland Gothicletters now flank the entrance in the Strand.
These unfortunately went up without any consultation with the Royal Fine Art Commission but, to the Commission's surprise, with the full approval of English Heritage.
Yours faithfully,
SHERBAN CANTACUZINO
Secretary
The Royal Fine Art Commission
London, SW1
