Resolution

No doubt over Christmas comrades will enjoy themselves watching unhealthy volumes of television (favourite repeats and all), scoffing turkey and mince pies, drinking too much booze, etc. And why not? Everyone needs to relax. Even - believe it or not - the always hard working Weekly Worker team.

Meanwhile, our website has registered 12,968 page views this week, down slightly on last week’s total of 14,284, but impressive nonetheless. The Weekly Worker is essential reading on the left and is at the forefront of the pro-partyist struggle within the Socialist Alliance. Something recognised by comrade JA, who commended the CPGB for “its foresight and determination in building an effective SA party”. Putting his money where his mouth is, he sent us a £25 donation.

We need more of the same from both our paper readership and our e-readership - especially since we are still well short of our monthly total despite a steady week of donations. Thanks to comrades CR, PL and NR (£5 each), KS, JD and DC (£10 each) and FJ (£3). Altogether, this brings our total to £256 - leaving us £194 short of our £450 target with only one week to go.

Comrades, make sure that at least one of your new year’s resolutions is to increase your level of donations to the Weekly Worker - and remember that the next edition of the paper will be January 10 2002.
