Robbie Rix asks asks for support for a space where leftwingers can have their say
As we slowly rebuild our website, the number of visits have started to climb once again. Last week, we had 13,348 readers - about 1,000 up on what we have been getting in recent weeks. And - would you believe it? - three of those readers made an online donation. Thank you, TC, for your magnificent £50, not forgetting TB (£10) and WD (£5).
We also received several handy cheques - £30 from BK, £25 from PL and £10 each from VD and SF. Together with the £210 paid into our account last week thanks to our regular standing order donors, that comes to £350, taking our September fighting fund to £932 with the best part of a week still to go.
This is encouraging, of course, but not before time: we could really do with a big surplus this month both to make up for deficits earlier in the year and to compensate us for the extra expenses incurred in our office move.
Comrade PL leads from the front when she writes: “Thanks for providing all that serious and stimulating debate. Which other paper gives you two pages of letters?” And, of course, she backs up her words with that £25 cheque.
It’s actually a very good point - where else do leftwingers get enough space to put over what they want to say? And the editor corrects your spelling and grammar for free! If you want to show your appreciation, you know what to do …
