Follow the lead

Robbie Rix gives credit for credits. Will you get a mention next week?

Apologies to comrades who may have posted us a donation over the last few days - a mix-up has resulted in the non-receipt of our mail, so I can’t give you the public acknowledgement you all deserve!

But I can report that - just too late to be included in last week’s column - we received two nice donations through the post earlier. There was a fantastic £75 cheque from our modest friend, comrade RG, who does not believe in saying anything about himself or even including an explanatory note; and another cheque for £25 from TR, who has also set up a standing order for £30 a month. As the first of those regular payments has already landed in our bank account, TR has donated £55 in a week.

There were a further five standing order payments - £140 in all - plus three PayPal donations amounting to £65, so a further £235 came in this week towards our February fighting fund. All that takes our running total to £743. But that is less than half of the £1,500 we need and there is only just over a week to go. Hopefully some of that will already be waiting for us when we do eventually get the latest mail, but that will still leave us quite a bit short, I should think.

How about some more of you online readers helping us out? Incredibly there were exactly 12,000 of you last week, but, as I’ve said, only three made use of our PayPal facility. Anyone like to follow their lead?
