Summer Offensive

Famine
If the last couple of weeks have proved to be rather thin in terms of donations to our £500 monthly fighting fund, this week we are definitely suffering from a severe famine. Last week the accumulated total stood at £293 - in no small measure due to donations from comrades at the European Social Forum in Paris. Since then, I am afraid to say, we got exactly nothing by way of the CPGB’s PayPal facility on the website and just two donations through the mail.

Comrade CS from Belgium gave an extra £20 and comrade MT from London £5. Thank you both. They take us up to £318 … and with just a couple of days to go before the close of November. Dangerously short in terms of the hard cash we need as a basic necessity to produce, print and post the Weekly Worker.

So can I urgently appeal to all readers - yes, including the thousands on the web, who pay for the privilege not to us, but via their bill from the telephone companies - to make a donation. Pay electronically, pay by post. No matter how small, it all counts and it is all appreciated.

To add to our woes, last week we experienced real difficulties in getting the paper up on the web. Hopefully, these problems - which are purely technical - have now been overcome. For the record, last week we notched up 12,230 e-readers of the paper. Doubtless that figure was swollen by frustrated revisits, so I estimate our true total circulation still hovers around the 10,000 mark.
