Fighting Fund

Anti-war boost
Once again I am grateful to anti-war protestors for helping to boost our fighting fund. While selling our paper on Saturday’s brilliant demonstration in London, I personally experienced  the generosity of several Weekly Worker supporters.

A comrade from Turkey that I had never seen before surprised me by offering a £5 note and refusing the change - that’s £4.50 extra, to go with the dozens of 50 pences that people offering a £1 coin decided to forego. At the latest count I have £44 in donations just from the London demo - I’m still waiting for contributions collected elsewhere across the country to come in.

It’s just as well that demonstrators are helping to keep us in the black, because postal gifts have again been somewhat lacking over the last week. Exceptions have been HJ, PT and FJ, who all sent me £20, and JD, who came up with a tenner. Altogether we have £464 towards our monthly target of £500 - but with just four days left. The March fund closes at noon on Monday March 31.

How about more of you internet punters putting your hands in your pocket? Last week 7,085 read us on the CPGB website - help fund the voice of communism we provide.
