LETTER:How to change French policy
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 Ms Catherine Croydon
Sir: Many people hearing the broadcasts of French commandoes boarding the Rainbow Warrior will doubtless share my feeling of alarm that the French government should compound the folly of its threat to resume testing in the Pacific by establishing an exclusion zone and aggressively boarding a ship refusing to acknowledge this effrontery.
I suggest that concerned British people should join the Antipodeans in refusing to buy French products. While the French government may disregard popular protest, they are likely to be more susceptible to commercial pressures. My family intend to forgo our treats of French wine and cheese: we hope that others will do the same.
Yours faithfully,
Catherine Croydon
