Letter: London's nightmare
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: The seven Labour MPs for London constituencies who point out the scandal of the Government's failure to capitalise on EC grants to enhance the capital ('Waking up to a troubled city'; letter, 30 October) need to be supported if the degeneration of our great metropolis is to be halted.
There is no committed campaigning voice for London, only fragmentation since the death of the GLC and the setting up of unaccountable quangos that meet in secret and have no executive power to do anything except produce propaganda. We need realistic policies and funds to stabilise London and set it on a new strategy for rebirth if it is not to decay further: an air- polluted nightmare where the rising incidence of asthma is its sad badge of courage.
Yours sincerely,
