Communist bond

With economic troubles invading even the ‘safe’ haven of the bonds market, a sound investment is hard to come by these days. But the revolutionary bond between the Weekly Worker and its supporters offers just that. Your investment in the paper and the Party project starts working for you immediately, combining high interest articles with long-term perspectives through a programme of struggle for human self-liberation. Money well spent! Donations from comrades PK, RW and JG bring the October fund to £297 towards our £400 target. Not bad for half time!
