Spot on

This week has more than compensated for the disappointing amount received last week towards our fighting fund.

First, let me mention the fantastic £90 added by RG to his subscription. Brilliant, comrade! And there was another cheque from comrade LC for £25, plus two PayPal donations - thanks to RN (£10) and DB (£7).

However, the largest component of this week’s donations came in the shape of standing orders - yes, it’s that time of the month! Thanks in particular to comrades KB, MM, TB, DG and TR for their substantial monthly payments, not to mention comrades BK and SP for their more modest contributions.

Those standing orders totalled exactly £500, which helped boost our April fund by £632 over the last seven days. So we now have £1,176 towards our £1,750 target, meaning we need just under £600 in the remaining 10 days of the month. I am more than confident that we can do it.

What helps boost that confidence are the remarks like those written by LC accompanying his cheque. Referring to what I wrote last week, she said: “You are spot on about the role of the Weekly Worker, when it comes to the ridiculous ‘anti-Semitism’ campaign. And, just to show that I mean it …” Thanks a lot, comrade.

Anyone else care to show their appreciation in the same way? Especially as that “ridiculous” campaign has been hitting the headlines again following this week’s parliamentary debate!
