Frittered away

Robbie Rix reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund

It is not often that I am complimented for the column I write. But comrade GH from Wolverhampton was impressed with last week’s. Commenting on my remarks about the former Eurocommunist leadership of the CPGB - now about to complete their liquidation by dissolving Democratic Left - he writes: “You are spot on about the Euros and their ‘misappropriation’ of Party funds. They have frittered away our hard-earned millions.”

The comrade draws the necessary conclusion: “The Weekly Worker has got the real communism. What it hasn’t got is the cash” - and promptly does his bit to change all that with a brilliant donation of £40. Another stalwart, comrade TR, whose CPGB membership goes back to the 30s, adds £8. Special thanks also this week to comrade AC for his donation of £20 - not bad for a student.

After a good week our October fund stands at £134 towards our £400 monthly target. Keep it coming!
