Summer Offensive

Dangerously short
As with last week, contributions to our monthly £500 fighting fund have been rather thin on the ground. In fact we only had three in total. Comrade TR from the North East sent in a very welcome £60 cheque, while comrade ST gave us £10, as did comrade DD (who paid through our PayPal facility on the web). That takes us to a not very grand £180. An amount which, I have to admit, leaves us looking dangerously short of our overall target.

Readers should know that because of the European Social Forum in Paris, this week’s paper has been brought forward by one day. Our core editors and production staff will be travelling to Paris on Wednesday evening by Eurostar from Waterloo and taking this issue of the paper with them. So we go to press late Tuesday night and print on Wednesday morning. It is possible therefore that you might get the paper a tad earlier than usual.

Though it was a very short week, I still thought you might be interested in last week’s circulation figures. Instead of doing our count on the stroke of Wednesday midnight, these figures are taken on Tuesday at 5.30pm. Over the four days the paper has been up on the CPGB website we had 4,447 readers. Which puts us well down on the 10,000-plus previously registered.
