Don't let us down

December's fund continues to crawl along, despite my urgent appeal last week for comrades to beat the Christmas rush and post early. But perhaps there are dozens of cheques delayed in Royal Mail sorting offices.

We cannot afford to bank on this, however, so I am appealing to comrades once again: please post your donation today. Otherwise it is most unlikely that we will receive your gift before the holidays, leaving us on tenterhooks until after Christmas.

Thanks this week to comrades HJ and KL (£10 each), who, together with some standing order regulars, have taken our total up to £115. Halfway through the month and barely a quarter of our £400 target in hand!

Don't let us down, comrades.
