LETTERS: Fun house
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.I'M GLAD that your comedy critic enjoyed The Late Lock-In at The Brix ("Brixton: laughter capital of Europe", 3 March) but should point out that The Brix is not "a derelict church converted into a thriving fun palace".
The (far from derelict) listed building's multi-functional use is, in fact, a good example of the Church of England working creatively with the community in the inner city. Funded largely by Brixton Challenge, The Brix is still home to St Matthew's, the parish church of Brixton, which on Sunday mornings is also thriving and occasionally even fun.
