Contented

Robbie Rix isn't getting all heavy on you, but he'd like some commitment

Comrade JT is the latest reader to support our standing order campaign - he sent us a form for £15 a month. It’s “a donation rather than a subscription”, he writes, since he’s “contented with the online version”. In fact he is, presumably, one of the 3,606 who read us via the website last week - although it has to be said that not one of them took the opportunity to click on the ‘Donate’ button, I’m afraid.

But comrade JT is one of the slowly increasing number of regular donors to the Weekly Worker who are taking us nearer our monthly £1,750 fighting fund target. I say ‘nearer’ because, with only six days to go for March’s fund, as I write, we still need just under £400 to get there.

Once again it was our existing standing order donors who came up trumps, adding £272 to the running total - thanks in particular to SK, BB, RE and RC. Then there was the excellent £50 added to his subscription from comrade JH (not bad at all - especially when you consider that was £20 more than the £30 he paid for his six-month sub!).

Anyway, we now have £1,356 and this month’s fund closes on Tuesday March 31. Will you help us get over the line?
