Ian Farrell reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund

Trade and industry secretary Peter Mandelson wants us to believe the burgeoning financial crisis is a figment in the minds of the media. They are suggesting “the end of the world is nigh”, he complained, when in fact business is relatively upbeat. Well, pessimism is something Weekly Worker readers will have none of, as we fight to prepare our class to ‘do business’, using the opportunities that Gordon Brown’s real difficulties throw up.

Thanks to comrade MN for a brilliant £100 donation to mark the 81st anniversary of the Russian Revolution, and to MZ and MM for new bankers orders. The November fund stands at £185 towards a £400 target. Another excellent start!
