Fill the breach
We are not doing very well
with our February fund so far. A third of the month already
gone and we have just £85 towards our target of £500.
A major problem is our continuing failure to attract much by
way of web donations. As you know, our PayPal facility allows
donors to contribute online using their credit or debit card,
but once again we received nothing by this method over the last
seven days. And yet we had 11,085 e-readers during that time,
of which no fewer than 2,602 downloaded the whole of last week’s
paper in pdf format. Admittedly this figure may have resulted
from the delay in making individual html articles available,
but it is impressive nevertheless.
I only wish the same could be said of the number of donations,
but even those received by snail mail were well down last week.
Our thanks go out to comrades PL, MN and DK (£20 each),
and HG (£15).
By the way, when I get our bank statement next week, there will
be a gap where I used to see the monthly £50 standing
order donation from comrade RW, who suddenly finds himself in
severe financial difficulties. Let’s hope (for his sake
and ours!) this will only be temporary. In the meantime, is
there anyone out there who can fill the breach?

We particularly
need standing orders to allow us to plan ahead in this fluid political
