Summer Offensive 
Wealthy donors
The TUC congress has highlighted once again the question of the
link with the Labour Party. Should trade unions go on handing
over good money after bad, as they continue to suffer the hammer
blows of privatisation, cuts and threatened legal attacks at the
hands of the Blairites?
Of course, Labour's traditional reliance
on the unions for most of its cash has gradually been replaced
by looking to business and individual wealthy donors, with the
possibility of state funding not ruled out. We, on the other hand,
have no big backers - from neither the trade union bureaucracy
nor capitalists. That is why the Weekly Worker relies only
on the generosity and solidarity of our readers and supporters,
who ask nothing in return.
But I have to say that so far this month
you lot have been very slow. We need £500 every month, but
so far have only £155. Not disastrous, but, with a third
of the month gone, we have much ground to make up.
Special thanks this week to BG, who sent
us a £25 cheque, and to JP, whose postal order was for £20.
But we need much more, comrades.
