Most challenging

Robbie Rix reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund

An Italian communist, now living and working in this country, writes: “I have bought many magazines and newspapers of the British left, and of the many yours is the most challenging intellectually.”

Thanks, comrade. Your letter was among a batch just received from new readers wanting to support our paper. It is because the Weekly Worker is so valued that we can rely on such stalwarts as comrade TR, who sent us £20 for our monthly fighting fund this week. Thanks also to HG (another £20 donation), LP (£15), KN and TP (£10 each), and MM (£5). Another good week takes us to £235 half way through September - well on the way to reaching our £400 target, not to mention making up the August shortfall.
