Letter: Fagin's children demonstrate their technique
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: On the Paris Metro one Sunday morning several years ago, I watched bemused as an older girl, perhaps 15 years of age, showed two younger children how to hold a newspaper over their lower arm. They were behaving so oddly I watched with interest as they came up to me and tried to open my bag with the hand supposedly hidden under the paper. I shouted and they ran off. Clearly the training school for Fagin's friends (Letters, 19 August).
Yours sincerely,
