Letter: In Scotland, the mail always gets through
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: It must be different in England and Wales, judging by the recent readers' letters complaining of poor deliveries of first-class mail. We live at the end of a half-mile of steep farm track; the only visible habitation is the farm itself, a quarter mile below our house. The mail arrives at the door daily, usually by 8am, often containing letters posted the previous day by one of our daughters in rural Devon or rural Northumberland.
Please, Lord, don't allow them to privatise the Post Office; many in Scotland would lose a treasured service.
