Summer Offensive

Essential addition
We start our October fund with a handsome cheque for £100 from TR - a lifelong communist who never forgets the Weekly Worker. Thanks, comrade - an excellent beginning. We also received a cheque for £20 from PL and a postal order for £10 from IN.

Pity about those web readers, though. Once again the numbers reading us on the net are increasing - last week we were up to 8,809. But just one solitary online donor to show for it - comrade PJ, who gave us a fiver using our PayPal facility. Modest, but appreciated nevertheless, and so too is her comment: the Weekly Worker is “an essential addition to the political landscape.”

All in all, we have £135 towards our £500 monthly target. But can I appeal once more, as we approach the 9,000 mark for web readers, for some more of them to make their contribution to this “essential addition”?

Control-freakery dampens enthusiasm
The European Social Forum takes place in London from October 15-17. But, writes Tina Becker, do not expect any interesting debates among UK platform speakers at the plenary sessions. Socialist Action and the SWP have made sure that only those loyal to their own groups and London mayor Ken Livingstone will be heard. Rank and file trade unionists and independent thinkers from Britain will not be allowed to address the European left
