Letter: Jacques Delors, I claim my pounds 140,000
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: I have, for many years, taught my students that the principle of subsidiarity holds that decisions should always be made at the lowest level compatible with efficiency. Thus, for example, it should be left to the parish council to determine whether to paint or to replace the parish pump, while a decision to declare war when a nation is invaded is properly left to central government.
I look forward to receiving Jacques Delors' cheque for pounds 140,000.
Yours faithfully,
