Identify yourself

Robbie Rix thanks a mysterious comrade...

I feel I must mention comrade JA, who recently set up a standing order to the Weekly Worker for £20 a month. Since the beginning of the year it has been landing in our account regular as clockwork. But the only trouble is, no-one here knows who he or she is. Well, comrade, we are really grateful, but why not identify yourself?

Presumably JA, not being a subscriber, reads us online (one of 9,663 who did so last week, by the way) and organised the standing order with his/her bank without telling us. It’s all very well being modest, comrade, but there is such a thing as going too far!

There were eight other standing orders last week, ranging from £10 to £30, plus a handy £50 PayPal donation from EJ (yes, comrade, I remembered to mention you this month!). Then there were three cheques - from KT (£25), AC (£20) and CJ (£10). All that comes to £283, taking our running total for May’s fighting fund up to £466. We need £1,500 every month, plus we still have £36 to make up from March’s shortfall.

So another £1,070 would do nicely, please.
