Let’s make sure

What an excellent week in terms of the Weekly Worker fighting fund! No less than £865 came our way, leaving us just £32 short of our monthly £2,750 target, with three days still left in January.

Let me start, first of all, with US comrade LA, who paid his annual subscription of £168, but then decided that it would be better if he read us online only. He believes that state officials have opened his mail at least a couple of times and perhaps, in view of the way things are going under Trump, he could be targeted for reading our subversive publication! So he said we should keep what he paid as a donation. Thanks very much, comrade!

Others who contributed via PayPal this week are comrades EG, JB and DB, who each paid us £50, as well as comrade DI, who chipped in with a fiver. But the largest number of donations came, as usual, via bank transfer/standing order - thank you, in particular, comrades JC and LM for their three-figure payments. Then there were RL (£60), DD and JT (£25 each), GD, JN and PS (£24), RN, MM and AB (£20) and TT (£10). Finally comrade Hussein handed his usual £5 note to one of our team.

All that takes our running total for January up to £2,718, so I’m very confident we’ll exceed that target again. But, to be honest, we could do with a bit more, especially because we still haven’t made up for the shortfall of more than £500 two months ago in November. So you’d be more than welcome to chip in as soon as you read this - please donate by bank transfer or PayPal to make sure we get there by January 31.
