Not complaining

But Robbie Rix isn't popping the Babycham open yet either

“Forward to cybernetic communism!” RB scrawled on the top of the resubscription form he sent us this week. He was so inspired by that prospect, it seems, that he felt he had to top up his resub cheque with an extra £40. Not that I’m complaining!

There were another two donations by cheque - thanks also to comrades RT (£25) and PL (£20) - plus a couple of handy contributions via PayPal in the shape of a tenner each from KF and CJ (they were among 4,180 online readers last week, by the way). Not forgetting comrade TS, who handed over a crisp £50 note at last weekend’s Critique conference.

But, as usual, the bulk of donations came in the shape of standing orders - thanks go to AD (£40), TB (£25), DW (£20) and AN (£10). And, speaking of which, two new SOs have been pledged - from JM (amount as yet unknown) and KB (£20 a month). But, there again, long-time supporter AD has been forced by hard times to cut her monthly donation by the same amount. Every pound you have donated has been appreciated, comrade!

And the same applies to all our supporters. But I just wish that one or two more of them would follow the example of JM and KB, and fill in a standing order form.

This week exactly £250 was added to April’s fighting fund, taking the running total to £719. But I’m afraid that’s below the going rate if we are to reach that elusive £1,750 monthly target, We still need another £1,031 in two weeks. We’d love to hear from you!
