It costs money

Robbie Rix wants readers to more than double last week's total

Last week I appealed to readers to help us keep producing the supplements that have been appearing in recent Weekly Workers (printed on that fetching pink paper).

Sure enough, comrade HF answered our call with a tremendous £50 donation, with the note: “Well done for publishing your programme - it’s a serious document that calls for serious consideration.” And it has already produced some initial thoughts (see Letters, p2).

We are grateful, comrade, as we are to KL (£25), FT (£20) and SR (£10) for their cheques. We also received £122 in standing orders this week - the largest part coming in the shape of MM’s regular £70 gift. But - and here’s my perennial complaint - only one £5 donation was received via our website, despite the fact that no less than 15,618 people read us on line last week.

All of them are very welcome visitors. But I just wish a few more of them would remember - in the words of my old dad - it costs money!

Altogether I received £232 over the last seven days, which means I have a total of £603 towards our monthly target of £1,250. But there are only 10 days to go and we must more than double that. Please do your bit and help us produce those supplements.
