Real thing
As I pointed out last week, at the moment we are finding it difficult to meet our running costs because of both a drop in donations and a lull in new subscriptions over recent weeks.
There are two things readers can do to help ease the difficulties we encounter from time to time. Firstly, if you are an occasional buyer or read us on the net, take out an annual subscription. A comparatively small number would ease our cash-flow problem substantially - and ensure you have a copy of the Weekly Worker to hand for more convenient reading and future reference. There is nothing like the real thing. Secondly, why not take out a monthly standing order, big or small, giving us a more reliable and regular source of income?
Comrades PO (£20), SD (£15) and PG (£10) did their bit this week, taking our total up to £240 - but in the remaining two weeks we need a real push to take us well beyond our monthly target of £450. Comrades, we urgently need your help in overcoming the deficit we have built up earlier in the year.
