Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Sir: I increasingly despair of the outright viciousness and uninformed content of the anti-European propaganda and I cannot understand what the motives for such nastiness are - it certainly is not the beef crisis, that is only a trigger. It is regrettable that a public health matter which greatly concerns everyone in Europe has now become a war between them (the Europeans) and us (the British) and that so many of "us" seem to relish this war.

Furthermore, as a German-born UK citizen (for the last 24 years) I find this present climate rather intimidating, if not frightening, and sincerely hope that common sense will soon prevail - although I am not so optimistic that it will.
