Christmas
break
The Weekly Worker is taking a two week break for the
festive season. This is the last issue in 2005, and we
will be back on Thursday January 6 with No 606. The editor and staff wish you merry Christmas and a new year
of effective political struggle.
Add the paper to your seasonal gift list and help us achieve
our target of one thousand pounds a month extra bankers
orders by the end of February. See our special
appeal for details.
