Robbie Rix was a bit surprised not to receive more cash
As I predicted, the last seven days saw a considerable slowdown in donations to the Weekly Worker compared to the week before. But, there again, it wasn’t a difficult prediction to make, as the biggest proportion of standing orders are paid at the beginning of the month.
Nevertheless another £97 paid directly into our account was added and there were also two other donations - a £25 cheque from MW “towards the cost of publishing the Weekly Worker” (MW has also applied for CPGB membership), plus an online payment of £10 from WD (who is too modest to say anything about her PayPal donation - I think maybe she would prefer not to be mentioned in this column at all!).
I must say I was a bit surprised not to receive more cash in the post. As things start to pick up following the CWU action, I was expecting a bit of a flurry of items held in storage by Royal Mail. Perhaps next week! And just the one internet donor out of the 15,357 online readers of our paper is also a bit on the low side.
However, the £132 I got this week brings our total for November to £519. So we are still on target for another much needed surplus over and above the £1,000 we must get as a minimum each and every month. Let’s go for it, comrades.
