Safeguard

In difficult financial times, we all take special steps to safeguard those things we hold dearest. New boss of The Body Shop Patrick Gournay, who replaced Anita Roddick in the top job on July 14, showed us the way with an £87,500 investment in the company’s shares. Self-sacrifice? Hardly. Weekly Worker readers know they must match such capitalist profit-seeking zeal with financial support for working class values. Reach deep into your pockets and bank accounts to sustain our paper’s struggle for the Communist Party our class needs. £55 received this week from PS, AN and ST takes us over the £400 monthly target in October by £42. Well done! Can we start November with special money to mark the anniversary of the Russian Revolution?

Report on meeting with Scottish Socialist Alliance/Scottish Socialist Party
This document featured in the Socialist Workers Party pre-conference internal Bulletin No2, berating the SSA/SSP for refusing to contemplate a unified socialist list for next year’s Scottish parliamentary elections. The CPGB fully supports the idea behind the SWP’s ‘Open letter for socialist unity’, and considers that the same principle applies in all-Britain elections, particularly those for the European parliament in 1999. The left must unite to maximise the challenge to New Labour
