Letter: The car business: company history, Japanese honour, German priorities, British nostalgia
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: As a very satisfied Rover car owner of many years, I am both sorry and angry at the news that the group has been sold to BMW. Such is our gratitude to British car workers for providing one of the best ranges of motor cars in the world today.
I am as good a European as the next man, but this latest surrender of ownership of a major manufacturing facility would not happen in Germany, France or Italy, and certainly not in Japan. Why can't we have the same degree of commitment to our industries as our European Union colleagues?
Yours faithfully,
