Long way

After a good first week our monthly fighting fund has run into the sand. Sad to say, we got hardly anything through. Frankly, comrades, you must pull your fingers out. Thankfully we did get £10 from PS in Leeds and a very welcome £20 from DM in London. A first-time donation to the Weekly Worker for this last named comrade. So far this month we have £126 towards our £400 target. We have a long way to go and only a short time to do it.
