Letter: Voice of reason
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.THANK YOU so much for the ever-civilised, delightful Michael Bywater. I laughed like a drain at his column "Going, going, gone" (Review, 18 April), as he took our so-called "leaders" vigorously to task.
Bill Clinton is "a potato-faced boobie with a hard-on who thinks it's a good idea to invade a country thousands of miles away". Brilliant - this is what so many of us wanted to say. Michael puts racial hatred in its proper perspective. Why shouldn't Slobodan Milosevic mutilate, kill and drive out people he doesn't like? They're only Albanians, for God's sake.
Michael's enjoyable description of the PM will certainly take the wind out of New Labour's sails! Tony Blair is "a slogan-machine who deserves to be dragged face-down through Clerkenwell with a Crunchie up his arse". Woo-hooh! I've never laughed so much. This is a clear reference to the black American James Byrd who was dragged to his death in such a manner. Woo-hooh! Please thank Michael for being the voice of reason, liberalism and sheer human decency. What a nice man!
