Sharp contrast

Ian Farrell reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund

In yet another attack on working people, the Asylum and Immigration Bill proposes to end all welfare benefit payments to asylum seekers. This anti-human, chauvinistic approach is in sharp contrast to the Weekly Worker’s opposition to all - not just ‘racist’ - immigration controls: a point emphasised by comrade BS, who sent us a generous donation of £30.

However, after last week’s good start, things seem to have slowed down, leaving our monthly target of £400 a far way off. We thank comrades TT and JK (£10 each) for their gifts, but we need many more like that. The total stands at £138. Comrades, we need your help.
