Success!

Comrades will be pleased to hear that, with one day still remaining for the Weekly Worker’s October fighting fund, we’ve already gone shooting past our monthly £2,250 target. Believe it or not, we’ve received no less than £2,845 in the first 30 days!

Let’s mention first two readers who made donations as a tribute to Tom May, a longstanding member of the Weekly Worker team, who died earlier this month. First up was comrade AR, who donated no less than £271 “in Tom’s memory” via PayPal. Joining him was comrade GS, who came up with £25 citing the same reason.

Then there was JN from Finland. We accidentally cancelled his subscription a few months back, but he only let us know he hadn’t been receiving the paper a couple of days ago. When he was offered a refund, he replied: “No, you can keep it as a donation for the fighting fund. I’ve been very busy and wouldn’t have had time to read the paper anyway.” Wow! That works out as £65 he’s contributing as a result of our mistake!

Other PayPal donors were DB (£50), PE (£7) and EG (£5). Then there were a couple of very generous three-figure donations from JC and AK, while other bank transfers/standing orders came our way from LM (£80), JT (£25), AB (£20), IS and JD (£10 each), and DD (£8). Finally comrade Hassan came up with his £10 note.

All that came to a fantastic £866, which helped us go shooting past that monthly target by no less than £595!

I can’t say how welcome all that is, given our recent soaring costs, so thanks to each and every one of you. And there’s still a day left, as I write, to increase the October total still further! But there’s no rush - if you want to help get us off to a good start for November, that would do nicely, thank you!
