A bargain!

A subscription to the Weekly Worker is fantastic value, says Robbie Rix, as he counts his few remaining, spare pennies. Why not help him out?

Our June fighting fund received a big boost this week with the donation of a tremendous £200 from comrade YM. The comrade knows of the Weekly Worker’s financial difficulties and was determined to help us out, for which we are more than grateful.

I also received a resubscription letter from II, which not only contained a donation of £20, but a standing order form for £15 a quarter - £3 more than the subscription rate. Thanks very much indeed, comrade. Talking of standing orders, the regular donations that came in this week amounted to £125, including AM’s generous monthly £50, £25 from GD and £20 from DV.

But once again I have to report no donations received via the website - the number of visitors fell below 10,000 for the first time in a long while (we had 9,550 readers last week), but I would have thought that a few of you might have made use of our PayPal facility. Despite that, we now have £630 towards our £1,500 target.

Finally, let me remind the dozen or so comrades who have still not upped their standing order subscription that we really do need you to return the form I sent out in order to meet the sharp increase in postage needed to deliver your Weekly Worker. I shall be writing again shortly asking you to increase your payment to £12 a quarter. It’s a bargain, comrades! You’re still getting the paper for less than the cover price!
