Letter: Iced putty and biscuits to finish
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: My birthday dinner has been spoilt. I was prepared to give my favourite restaurateur full marks until it came to the cheese, which arrived severely chilled, thereby losing most of its flavour. I complained as politely as I could and was told apologetically that this was because of regulations which now forbade him to serve cheese other than from the refrigerator.
I am all for having my health protected in principle, but when cheese is reduced to iced putty, things have gone too far. I have been told by our environmental health department that this regulation, which became fully effective in April, is the result of UK legislation, not Euro folly.
That is quite understandable as I am sure our continental cousins would not put up with such nonsense. Can we campaign to have room temperature - and edible - cheese?
Yours faithfully,
