Step on the gas

As I reported last week, this month we really need not only to achieve our fighting fund target of £2,750, but also to make up a good part of the November £545 deficit.

Well, at the moment, with, as I write, 10 days out of the 31 for December already gone, we have at least gone past the first £1,000 barrier. Thanks go first of all to comrade PP, for providing us with a couple of months’ worth of envelopes to send out copies of the Weekly Worker to our subscribers each week, at a cost of £148. We’ll take that, comrade!

Then there were a number of standing orders and bank transfers - thank you, comrades CG and DV (£30 each), RG (£25), and SM, PM and AM, who all contributed a tenner. Five other comrades played their part by clicking on the PayPal button on our website: thanks very much ST (£20), AB (£11), MH (£10), plus NL and GP (a fiver each).

All that comes to £314 - not exactly a huge amount for a whole week, but, thanks to the excellent start over the first three days of December, our running total now stands at £1,012. But now we need to step on the gas and make sure we receive at least three grand this month to help make up for November’s shortfall.

Can you help? There are all sorts of ways to do that. You could send us a cheque, make a bank transfer or donate via PayPal. See the details below and click on the link if you need more information.

As new subscriber KC commented, “What a great job you’re doing. Keep up the good work!” Thanks, comrade, but, of course, we rely on the help of our readers and supporters to do that! Please don’t let us down.

Remember, remember, this is the penultimate issue for 2025 … and because of the latest wave of flu we’ve had to feature Christmas early. We’ve had writers knocked out of action … temporarily, obviously.

Anyway, we are back next week, on the 18th, and then we take our well-deserved holiday break.
