Appreciation

No donation is too small... or too big, emphasises Robbie Rix

“Where else could I find such in-depth articles about left groups?” asks comrade JH. “Momentum, the Communist Party of Britain and the Labour Representation Committee - all in one issue.” And to show his appreciation of last week’s Weekly Worker he enclosed a cheque for £25. Both the cash and the kind words are greatly appreciated, comrade.

But comrade DF was even more generous - twice as generous in fact. Unlike JH though, he didn’t include a covering note in the envelope containing his £50. And a third donor by cheque was LP, who added a tenner to his subscription.

We also did quite well in PayPal donations last week - thanks to ST (£20), PM (£15), and BF (£10), who were among the 3,169 readers who visited the Weekly Worker website last week. Then there was the usual batch of standing orders/bank transfers, ranging from £10 to £30. There were 10 of them in all and, as well as CG’s £30, they included £25 each from RK and GD, £20 from DV, £18 from NR and £15 from AC and SWS.

All that came to £353, taking our total for November’s fighting fund up to £487. Well, of course, it’s all gratefully received, but, to be honest, a third of the month is already gone, which means we are about £100 short of where we need to be if we’re going to reach our £1,750 target.

You know what? A couple of really fat donations would come in handy right now. Anyone like to oblige? Let’s make sure we smash right through that £1,750 barrier this month.
