"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."
"Detective Constable Niall Thubron, 33, repeatedly fixed one character on his keyboard to create the illusion of constant activity during his two weekly home-working days. On one occasion, his computer logged more than 16,000 presses of the letter i within 90 minutes, a misconduct hearing in Peterlee, County Durham, heard. The scheme, carried out 38 times over 12 days between December 2024 and January 2025, allowed Thubron to avoid his policing duties for more than 45 hours of his scheduled work hours."
"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."
The Independent solicits donations to fund reporters on the ground covering topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, citing investigations and documentaries and stating a refusal to use paywalls so reporting remains freely accessible. Detective Constable Niall Thubron, 33, used key-jamming to simulate computer activity during two weekly home-working days, with one session logging over 16,000 presses of the letter i within 90 minutes. The scheme occurred 38 times across 12 days between December 2024 and January 2025, totaling more than 45 hours of avoided policing duties. Monitoring software flagged the pattern and triggered an anti-corruption probe.
