Stingy

Robbie Rix reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund

“Long live the shit sheet!” writes comrade RW from Carlisle - who goes on to apologise for his “measly” cheque of £25. If only there were more readers as stingy as you, comrade.

Other ‘scrimping’ donations this week include two £20 gifts from comrades TI and SL, while JG from Walthamstow comes up with a downright miserly £30! All more than welcome of course, if the Weekly Worker is to continue to debate, report, analyse and think. Only philistines or those ashamed of their own actions can describe this as ‘scandal-mongering’.

Thanks to these and other readers who boosted our October fund with a magnificent £125 this week. The total now stands at £259 with just over a week to go to reach our £400 target.
