More than words

“You will notice that I have sent an extra £10 this month,” writes comrade TR from Bishop Auckland. “This is because at almost 87 years of age I felt I just couldn’t manage to travel to London to demonstrate against the war. I believe the extra tenner will probably do more good being used by the Weekly Worker.”

Pity about February 15, comrade, but your increased donation of £40 is more than welcome. And TR’s contribution is one of several that helped to take our February total to an excellent £627 - well over our £500 monthly target. Comrade JS did not send us a cheque, but asked for a standing order form, so he could donate regularly.

JS is one of the thousands who read us regularly on the web - last week 7,005 did so. He is also one of the increasing number who have at last come to realise that the Weekly Worker does not produce itself. As well as our dedicated writers, designers, printers, etc, we depend upon our readers to keep our collective head above water financially. So we need a greater proportion of e-readers to show their appreciation - by sending money on a regular basis.
