Useful start

Robbie Rix reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund

Last week I wrote: “The start of our annual Summer Offensive will no doubt place a great strain on comrades’ resources. However, please don’t forget the Weekly Worker.”

I am pleased to say that I have not been disappointed so far. Readers will see from our back-page report that over £10,000 has so far been pledged to the CPGB’s fundraising drive. But this has not deterred comrades from doing their bit for their paper as well. As GT from Sheffield writes, “Where else can you find such real debate on the left?” And, putting her money where her mouth is, she encloses a cheque for £30.

Thanks this week also to YP and SD (£20 each), as well as RA (£15), KL (£12) and TD (£10). Our May total starts off with a useful £107 towards out £400 target.
