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: May I correct the otherwise good coverage in the media of the protests under way against live animal transportation to the Continent.
Shoreham Harbour is controlled by Shoreham Port Authority, whose offices are based in Southwick, West Sussex. However, the harbour waters run parallel to the main coast road, and from Shoreham run alongside the towns of Portslade and Southwick, before finishing at the main harbour entrance in Hove, East Sussex. It is here, or the sea front road in Hove, and not Shoreham, that the protesters gather each night to halt the lorries.
On behalf of the beleaguered residents of Hove, many of whom are out each night in the bitter cold opposing this cruel trade, I would ask journalists reporting this story to get our location right.
Yours faithfully, J. WILLIAMS Hove, East Sussex
