Best on the left

Robbie Rix celebrates progress towards our target

A couple of nice, friendly messages accompanied the two PayPal donations to our fighting fund this week. The first, for an excellent £50, was from a voice from our past, comrade TD, who used to support The Leninist, the forerunner of today’s Weekly Worker. “You’ve been spot on about Jeremy Corbyn,” explains TD.

For his part, comrade DB was more effusive. Although he is a current subscriber, he “wanted to contribute a little extra to help along the best paper on the left” - his “little extra” was worth £10. He and comrade TD were among 2,574 visitors to the Weekly Worker website last week.

And, to make up for the slack week I reported in the previous issue, over the last seven days no less than £375 came our way in standing orders - thanks very much to SK for his magnificent £230, not to mention MM for his £75, TB for her £50 and KB for his £20.

Last but not least, there were two cheques - from MN for a tremendous £100, and LP for a more modest, but very useful £22. All in all, we received £552, sending our running total shooting up to £1,192.

But that means we still need £658 in eight days to reach our £1,750 target for September. You can do it! Please post your cheques, click on the PayPal logo or - best of all - make a bank transfer (sort code 30-99-64; account number 00744310).
