Letter: London's victim of dogmatism

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.

Sir: The unconditional sale of County Hall to Japanese property developers is one of the most disgraceful actions of any British government in my lifetime ('Japanese win fight for County Hall', 26 September). County Hall is only a few hundred yards away from the Houses of Parliament.

As the historic centre of government for London of which we are now deprived - our Hotel de Ville, our City Hall - its degradation as a hotel will be seen by future parliamentarians and all Londoners as the supreme symbol in our capital city of the destructive powers of dogmatism.

Yours sincerely,

BRYAN ROBERTSON

London, N1
