Below going rate

As is usual with the second week of each month, we have fallen quite a bit behind the going rate, if we’re going to reach that monthly £2,750 target for the Weekly Worker fighting fund.

I’m afraid to say that only £295 came our way this week, taking our running total up to just £858 after 11 days, as I write. So now we need just under £2,000 in 20 days - an average of £100 per day! But I remain confident - I know we have hundreds of readers and supporters who value our work so much, and I’m sure a good number of them will do the necessary. Don’t forget, we need to make up for last month’s shortfall too!

Anyway, a big thank you to the comrades who contributed this week - especially comrade TDB, who donated no less than £95 via PayPal. Also using that payment method were comrades HH (£50), ST (£20), AB (£11), MH (£10) and JV (£7).

Then there were those who chipped in via bank transfer or standing order: thanks to comrades DV and NH (£30 each), RD (£12) and SM, PM and CC (£10). So, as I say, that came to £295. But, of course, the weekly average we need is more like £650!

Well, I know that we’re about to reach that time of the month when quite a few substantial amounts come our way, but will they be enough? Please play your part to make sure they are!
