Letter: Ultimate apology

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: I have come to feel the descendants of the pre-Celtic people of the so-called British Isles are owed an apology (Letters, 11, 12 August) from the Celtic invaders of our islands.

Perhaps a joint apology could be formulated by the leaders of the nationalist parties of Cornwall, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales? It might be a reminder that instead of whingeing on about how we were done down in ancestral times, we should be trying to learn lessons from the past to help us all to live together in the present.
