Letter: Too old to target
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.WITH REFERENCE to Joan Smith's article on the Queen Mother, "Queen Bee with a very nasty sting" (11 July), my mother at 95 years, coming from a working background, had the same attitude as the Queen Mother. She was from a different age, her thinking not comparable with that of the young of today. I often did not agree with her, but at least I had the courtesy to respect her right to an opinion. I suggest Ms Smith do the same and stop trying to bring into disrepute someone who is in the twilight of her years.
