Summer Offensive

Over the top
After last week’s boost, this week things have been a bit slower, with just £155 in my mailbag.

Still, that takes our total to £595 - within touching distance of this month’s special target of £750. But it’s a target we must reach if we want to upgrade some of our IT equipment. So let me ask all our regular readers who have not yet contributed this month to seriously consider how much you can afford to let us have in our hour of need.

And let me, once again, appeal to the growing number of internet readers - we had 7,018 last week - to give something in return for the political service provided by the Weekly Worker that I know so many appreciate both in Britain and across the world. Drop us a cheque or use your credit card to give us a donation online.

Special thanks this week to comrade HT for a brilliant £50. And thanks also to TY, IM, BV, CD and SW, who have given others the chance to take us over the top.

Robbie Rix
