Do much better!

Readers may recall that last week I reported in the November 30 issue that we needed another £416 before the end of that day! But, not surprisingly, we didn’t reach our £2,250 monthly fighting fund target - only one comrade read my appeal in time and was able to transfer a fantastic £100 before the end of the day. Thank you, comrade JC!

On top of that, there were two standing orders that landed in our bank account before the deadline - thanks also to comrades VP and MD, who both contributed £10. So we ended November with £1,929 in the Weekly Worker fighting fund - a deficit of £296.

So now we really need to make up for that in the final month of the year. Can we not only break through that £2,250 barrier, but raise just short of an extra £300? That’s quite a challenge, but I’m confident that some comrades will rise to the challenge and at least give us a chance of making it.

After, as I write, the first six days of December, we’re not far behind the going rate, with £421 already in the kitty. A lot of that came in the shape of all those standing orders that land in our account at the very start of the month, combined with a few bank transfers.

The most generous donor was comrade AC, who contributed £100, and the others were EW (£55), ST and CG (£30 each), AM (£29), MS, BK and TW (£20), BG, MT and RG (£15 each), TM (£13), MM (£11), AN, YM and DI (£10), plus £6 each from JS, CP and DC.

But, unusually, there were no donations by cash, cheque or PayPal last week - maybe this week comrades will make up for that! See below for the link if you want more information on how to donate. Let’s make sure we do much better in December!
