Letter : Cut the coupons
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 Graham Binns
Sir: I subscribe to the Independent because it seems to me to be the best paper around - for its editorial values, provision of information and Miles Kington; not for its promotional gimmicks. I get very bored with being propositioned all the time to amass coupons so that I may buy tickets to places I never thought of going to, or win gas-guzzlers that go far too fast and cost a mint to run.
But what makes me mad as a rat is to be told to cut out a coupon and then take it to my newsagent so that I can get Sunday's paper at half- price. I'm damned if I will. Why should I have to go out in the rain to pester my newsagent (a mile away) with these miserable coupons when he has been delivering the paper to me ever since it began?
Yours faithfully,
GRAHAM BINNS
