Appreciation

Don't be afraid to prove it with hard cash, says Robbie Rix

“I found the Weekly Worker a bit ‘heavy’ at first,” writes comrade JP in the note accompanying his cheque, but now “I really enjoy each issue”. To show his appreciation he added an extra £5 to his six-month subscription.

Another cheque donation to our fighting fund came from CT. But, unlike JP, he didn’t bother with a note - no doubt he thought his £20 would speak for itself. Quite right too! Then there were two PayPal donations - £25 from FC and £20 from SM, all the way from Canada. They were among 3,541 online readers last week.

There were also six standing orders, including a handsome £50 from TB, who has increased her regular monthly donation substantially, and £75 from MM. The others were TR (£30), KB and DW (£20), and SP (£5). Finally comrade PB handed over £40 towards our fund at the CPGB’s well-attended London Communist Forum, addressed by Moshé Machover, on May 15.

All that comes to £310 and takes our running total for May to £878. I hate to say this, though, but we are well into the second half of the month and just a little bit behind where we need to be if we’re to reach our £1,750 target. So you know what to do - any of the methods above will do nicely, but, best of all, especially for those with an online account, why not make a bank transfer? Not only are there no fees, but we get it almost instantly. Please pay Weekly Worker at 00744310 (sort code 30-99-64) l
