Up your payment

After last month’s brilliant success in shooting through our £2,750 monthly target on the last day of April, I wonder if we can do the same thing in May - only this time giving ourselves a few days to spare!

Well, the first week of the month is always notable for the large number of standing orders we receive and this one was no exception. No fewer than 19 comrades contributed their usual SO - the best being the fantastic £100 from comrade AC. Then there were the regular donations from LC (£50), BO (£35), MM (£31), CG (£30), NR and RG (£25 each), DL and MT (£20), CP (£16), RG and AM (£15), RM (£13), RD (£12), MM (£11), AN, DI, IS and SM (£10 each).

On top of that, a further couple of tenners came from MH (via PayPal) and comrade Hassan (his usual banknote), taking our total for the first week of the month up to £478. Well, not bad, but it is, of course, quite a bit below the going rate - something like £650 is the average weekly amount that would see us home.

And, of course, now that our printing costs in particular have shot up, we would really appreciate it if some of the above donors could increase their standing orders a little bit. And that obviously applies to subscribers too! There are still quite a few of them who have not yet upped the monthly payment to the actual price of £8 for UK subscribers (it’s £14 for readers overseas). If you’re one of them, please do that as soon as you possibly can - don’t forget that the new rate started over a month ago! And that applies to PayPal subscribers too, of course.

We really need our readers and supporters to help us out, so please pay us more than the basic subscription rate if you possibly can!

Just as you need the Weekly Worker, so the Weekly Worker needs you.
