Summer Offensive

SWP comrades too
“I like the openness of the Weekly Worker,” writes comrade FK in the note accompanying his £10 donation, although he is not so sure about “concentrating your fire on the SWP all the time”. He doesn’t think they will “realise the CPGB is right and go down the far left road”.

Perhaps not, comrade, but there is a job to be done. The SWP is by far the biggest revolutionary group in Britain and our aim of a single revolutionary workers’ party will never be achieved behind the backs of the current organisations of the left. We are confident that ultimately the strength of our ideas will win amongst all advanced sections of our class.

For the moment, of course, that is not the case. But there are, nevertheless, increasing numbers attracted to those ideas. For example, once again our web readers topped 9,000 last week and our total readership was, for the third week in a row, well over 10,000. And a good few of them sent in donations - not least comrades FD, who came up with a brilliant £50, and II, who wrote us a £30 cheque. Then there was a whole number of smaller donations - thanks go to comrades RL, SB, OL, NC, SA, FR, EW and CH.

All in all a good week, with £175 received. But it would be premature to celebrate - don’t forget, we only had £20 after last week’s mail cock-up and some of the above should by rights have been included then. So, with well over half the month gone, we are still some way behind where we need to be - if we are to make our full £500 target, that is.

Do your bit in the fight for a party - and that applies to SWP comrades too!.
