Letter: Saddened by cartoon
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: Andrew Marr's predictably wise and humane words ('Sex is your business; your lies are mine', 10 February) in which he properly claims Stephen Milligan's death 'tells us nothing at all about Conservative politics', highlights even more the offensiveness of Heath's cartoon on the facing page.
It saddens me, a loyal Independent reader from day one, that you can respond to this personal tragedy in the same issue both with such a fine piece of journalism and with a cartoon more at home in the gutter press.
Yours faithfully,
