Robbie Rix isn't counting properly, that's all

It’s pretty clear from our web statistics that it has taken some time for a number of our readers to find their way to our new Weekly Worker site. The number of visits has been down by a few hundred a day since last Thursday, when the new site was launched - the exact opposite of what I predicted in last week’s column! We only had 9,414 online readers last week.

Anyway, I’m sure you’ve worked out how to get there by now. Of course, you can still access the Weekly Worker via the CPGB website - just click on the link at the top of the page. But why not bookmark http://weeklyworker.co.uk instead?

One comrade who had no trouble was PG, who writes: “A much cleaner, sharper and, most important, quicker site. Congratulations!” And, putting his money where his mouth is, he clicked on ‘Donate’ to send £20 our way. And that was the amount of TT’s “one-off donation” also made by PayPal. Thanks to both.

Two large contributions accounted for most of the £157 we received in standing orders - £75 from JT and £35 from DS. And three cheques came in via Royal Mail - £30 from RG (doubling his six-month subscription payment), £20 from LP and £10 from FD.

All that comes to £257, taking our May total to £1,393. But we need to push it higher - up to £1,500 by May 31 (in other words, just two days time). Please follow the examples of PG and TT and make use of our PayPal facility. Better still, make a transfer from your online bank account to 00744310 (sort code: 30-99-64) That’s just as quick, but it’s also free of charge! We need £107 by Saturday May 31.
