Come to see the real Worth
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 Harry Enfield's article "I won't mourn the demise of the grinning flogger" (18 June), we were surprised by the crass tones and bad taste. How Mr Enfield wrote the article with a straight face we will never know. Mr Enfield is an exception; we are yet to meet old boys with such intense and derogatory opinions. Similar sentiments to Mr Enfield's are certainly not reflected within the school today. As for the supposed "slump in popularity", we feel this unfortunate reference would not have occurred had Mr Enfield's research been more thorough. The school has 300 boarders and increasing numbers of day boys. The Worth we have experienced is very enjoyable; it has been and always will be very different from Mr Enfield's ridiculous misconceptions. We would like to invite Mr Enfield back to the school to show him the real Worth.
