Optimism and faith

Clearly my optimism and faith in our readers and supporters is completely justified. While last week we were clearly way behind the going rate when it came to raising the £2,750 we need each and every month, this week it’s quite the opposite!

No less than £974 came our way over the last seven days, taking the Weekly Worker fighting fund running total up to £2,028. Brilliant work, comrades!

Thanks in particular to comrades WC, PM and SK for their fantastic three-figure contributions. In addition we had MM (£75), TR (£40), DL (£30), GB (£25), GD (£24), DR and RN (£20 each), and JL (£10). All these came in the shape of standing orders or bank transfers. In addition, KS and TS both clicked on our PayPal button to donate £50 each, while comrades Hassan and JH both handed a fiver to one of our team!

Finally, comrade IB travelled from up north down to London to help solve a particular technical problem relating to Weekly Worker production. Not only did he solve the problem after a few hours’ hard work: he also insisted that he did not want any payment at all, not even to cover his £39 train fare to get down here. That’s commitment for you! So we’ve added that amount to this week’s total.

Anyway, we now need another £747 to see us home, with nine days of October remaining, as I write. After last week’s brilliant performance my optimism and confidence remains! But I never take anything for granted, so please play your part if you haven’t already done so this month. Make a bank transfer, donate by PayPal or even send us a cheque (yes, we still take those!).
