Printing soon
Robbie Rix reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund
Unfortunately it’s been another slightly disappointing week for the fighting fund. We received £340 over the last seven days, but that takes our running total to only £934 towards our £2,000 target. And, of course, 19 out of the 31 days in May are now behind us.
This is particularly disconcerting in view of the fact that in just two weeks time we’ll be printing again, which obviously means that our costs will be shooting up once more. So we could really do with breaking through that £2K barrier this month.
The highlight of this week was the magnificent £170 contribution from comrade KB, while MM (£75), TR (£40) and GB (£25) came up with their monthly standing orders. Then there was US comrade PM, who chipped in with his usual £25 via PayPal - the same method used by AL, who donated £5. But that was it, I’m afraid.
Good news!

I’m sure that a large number of comrades reading this will be delighted to hear the good news: yes, many of you will have guessed - we’re just about to resume printing!
It’s going to happen in exactly three weeks time, on June 3 - provided there’s no last-minute hitch, of course (unlikely, but you never know). As comrade TH told me this week, “I just can’t wait to get the
Weekly Worker in my hands once more!” Just a little more patience is now required, comrade.
Two days left
Robbie Rix reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund
As I write, there are just two days left to reach our £2,000 fighting fund target for April, but at the moment we don’t even have £1,500.
Unfortunately the last week has been another disappointing one - a mere £170 came our way, taking the running total to just £1,457. There were, despite that, a couple of highlights which stood out: £50 donations from both DB (via PayPal) and JT (standing order). Other SOs were from DR (£25), DG (£20), GT (£15) and JM (£10). But that’s it, I’m afraid.
So can we get there? Yes, we can. Either follow DB’s lead and click on our PayPal button; or log on to your online bank account and make a transfer. That’s preferable for us, of course, as there’s no fee deducted - make the payment to account number 00744310 (sort code: 30-99-64). Please make sure it lands in our account by Friday April 30.
