Safeguard

Ian Farrell reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund

In difficult financial times, we all take special steps to safeguard those things we hold dearest. New boss of The Body Shop Patrick Gournay, who replaced Anita Roddick in the top job on July 14, showed us the way with an £87,500 investment in the company’s shares. Self-sacrifice? Hardly. Weekly Worker readers know they must match such capitalist profit-seeking zeal with financial support for working class values. Reach deep into your pockets and bank accounts to sustain our paper’s struggle for the Communist Party our class needs. £55 received this week from PS, AN and ST takes us over the £400 monthly target in October by £42. Well done! Can we start November with special money to mark the anniversary of the Russian Revolution?
