LETTERS: Water rage
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.AND LO, in my house on that Christmas Eve was great sorrow and the wailing and the gnashing of teeth, for we wept at the suffering of the worthy knight, Sir Gordon ("Sir Gordon's bad year", 24 December).
But when we had wept, we thought about Sir Gordon, and how he and his fellow knights of the round board had poured gold into the soilpipe called "Dividends" instead of into the horn of plenty called"Investment", and how he had amassed so much gold that he could afford a tanker of the finest mineral waters to himself.
And lo, our sorrow changed to an anger so great that, not content with Sir Gordon's head, we want the heads of all his fellow knights as well.
