Above water

While our circulation continues to rise week by week, donations to our fighting fund are still no more than a trickle.

Last week we clocked up a record 16,673 e-readers (of which 1,297 downloaded the pdf version of Weekly Worker 572), yet only two of them decided the paper was worth paying for. OK, so the figures tell us what we write is valued, but something more concrete by way of appreciation would not go amiss. Thanks anyway to comrades LN and EK, who both used their credit cards to donate £20.

The post was hardly better - just three contributions to our April fund. Nevertheless, all of them are gratefully received, so thank you, comrades FT (£40), RD (£25) and SW (our number one Norwegian fan, who came up with £10). So our total is £280 with just over a week to go to get the full £500 we need to keep our head above water.

Do you know, I haven’t had one of those beautiful £100 cheques that come our way once in a while for a good many weeks. And how I could do with a couple of them right now. Anybody feeling generous?
Robbie Rix

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