Summer Offensive

Confident

My heartfelt appeal last week seems to have had the desired effect, with a bumper total of £205 received through the post and via our website.
However, that still leaves us languishing at £357, with just four days to reach our £500 target. If you haven’t already done so, please send us your gift first class immediately, so that it reaches us by noon on Monday January 31. Even better, why not make a donation online? Scroll down our home page to ‘Enjoy the Weekly Worker?’ and click on ‘Make a payment’. Don’t forget to have your card handy!

Last week two comrades helped us out in this way - thanks go to LW and CD, who both gave us £10. However, some might say that two donors out of a total of 15,100 visitors (of whom 743 downloaded the whole of last week’s paper) is a small return. That figure for weekly visitors is just about the highest ever, by the way, but - yes - we could do with a few more leaving us something behind. I am confident that some will do so over the next couple of days.

Amongst those who sent us cheques or postal orders were TR (£50), JC (£30), PH (£25) and TS (£20). Mention must also be made from our number one fan in Norway, comrade SW (£10), together with RP, who slipped us an extra fiver with her resubscription.

We particularly need standing orders to allow us to plan ahead in this fluid political situation. Click here to download an order form.
