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 reason that Scots are likely to vote "yes" for devolution can be explained by the attitude of the English as exemplified in your cartoon (6 September) showing Balmoral situated in the realms of outer space.
As a Scot who now lives in England I have found that many southern English people are amazingly insular and ignorant of anywhere outside London and the South-east. Most Scots have a broader outlook and many are probably hurt by the inference that the Queen is only truly in touch with the people when in London.
