Not promising

Robbie Rix reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund

This is the final issue of the Weekly Worker for 1999. So comrades will have to wait until our next issue (January 13) to see if we have not only reached our monthly £400 target, but also cleared the backlog for the year - after last month’s magnificent effort, an extra £88 will do the trick.

But, I have to say, the signs do not look promising. Only £90 has been received since last week, bringing December’s total up to £155. With excessive delays for the holidays in the pipeline, we could be in trouble. So, instead of waiting with bated breath for January 13, why not put a cheque or postal order in the post today?

That is exactly what comrades VS (£25), PM/HD (£20), WH (£10) and TD (£5) did. Thanks to all. Now it is up to you, comrades.
