Letter: Spot the European
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: John Major's speech on Europe ("Major makes a gritty riposte", 20 June) repeatedly refers to the fact that the British are different from the rest of the Europeans. Who are they? Never met one.
Surely he must have spotted the differences between the various crowds during Euro 96. I'm from Holland (we used to play football quite well) and, despite the fact that we are only small, we are very different from our neighbours in Germany and Belgium, who will say the same of their neighbours. So stop lumping all Europeans together - you are European, too, and as different as we all are.
