Fighting fund
Ground zero

Myself and my column are now back following the CPGB’s Summer Offensive and our week-long post-Communist University annual holiday. The Summer Offensive was, of course, one of our most successful fund drives ever. Nearly £30,000 being donated.

However, I cannot boast about the first week of our normal fighting fund. Nothing in the post, nothing from Paypal and the web. So the fund stands at zero; and we must raise £500 before the end of the month.

Over the last seven days we recorded exactly 29,715 individual visitors to our website (we count on Wednesday each week at exactly midnight). Well down on recent highs. But, now we are back in business, I am sure it will once again build and build … just like our fund.

A little ray of sunlight. Dave Craig of the Revolutionary Democratic Group has promised a late donation to the Summer Offensive … and an increase in the RDG’s monthly standing order to the Weekly Worker - from £40 to £50. Better late than never … and more than welcome. Our costs, not least with experiments in duo-tone front pages, are always upwards.

Also by way of good news, I am glad to report that the final pre-print proof reading of Jack Conrad’s book Fantastic reality will be completed by the end of this week. Once again, a case of better late than never. Six months late in this case. After all we originally planned to publish the thing in the spring … advanced orders were taken too. With a bit of luck we should have it printed in the next few week.
