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.DIRECTING my compass from my study window I could be in East Cheam. Only, Captain Moonlight (20 November), it doesn't exist - except in the immortal evocation of Tony 'Ancock's 'alf hour. Can't vouch for the instant ribaldry that the other ''place names'' evoke, but I have never found much to laugh about when in Islington: we were all too busy chattering.

SO, Jennings has perished has he (''Stuck on the shelf'', Review, 20 November)? In the past few years 14 of the original books have been reissued in paperback. What's more, Anthony Buckeridge actually wrote a new Jennings volume, Jennings Again.

FAR from being out of print for many years, eight of Monica Edwards' Romney Marsh series (it was never Monica Dickens) are currently available, published by Goodchild. The same publisher also has 11 Malcolm Saville stories in print.

THE Prime Minister allegedly calls some cabinet ministers ''bastards''. John Maples, deputy chairman, refers to Tory backbenchers as ''yobbos'' and yet they all call each other ''my right honourable friend''.
