Freeloading

This column is dedicated to those who could be reading this from just about anywhere in the world. Last week there were 6,083 individual sessions logging onto our website from places as diverse as Ecuador and Epping.

Of course, the web is an increasingly vital resource in the battle for ideas that we are engaged in. And the number of people attracted to our site proves that. Web-readers not only have access to the current edition of our paper but to our archives and links to the rest of the left.

All of this comes free of charge (excepting the cost of connection, of course) and so it is hardly churlish of us to make an appeal to the generosity of comrades reading us on the web. Just think, a pound for every session would dramatically swell our coffers. Maybe that is a little unrealistic but come on, comrades, how about putting your money where your mouse is and sending in a donation? Better still, take out a standing order.

Thanks to last-minute donations from comrades EG (£50), MM (£30), TP (£25) and DJC (£10) we surpassed our £450 monthly target in August by £8. We start September £65 to the good.
