Summer Offensive

Telling it like it is

Long-time supporter TR gets us off to a good start after week one of our September fund - a handsome £100 donation, with the promise of more. Thanks, comrade, we could not do without stalwarts like yourself.
Thanks also go to comrades KL, BV and RT, who each sent us £20. RT’s came in the shape of an addition to his annual Weekly Worker resubscription - accompanied by a note advising us to keep “telling it like it is”. So we have £160 towards our £500 target.

No internet donations to report this week, though. I am referring to our PayPal facility, which is prominently featured on our home page. During our Summer Offensive fundraising drive in particular it was well employed by comrades wishing to make a donation using their credit or debit card.

But unfortunately not one of our website’s 8,687 visitors made use of the facility over the last seven days - something that we hope will change for the better during the rest of September. After all, we cannot rely on the likes of TR to keep riding to the rescue. While such hefty gifts are more than welcome, we need far more of our readers to help us out with whatever they can afford.
How about it, comrades?
Robbie Rix
