A marvellous total of £1,026 awaited my return to the office today. An incredible £837 in standing orders is the best way to start the last 10 days of fundraising.

A comrade in Northfleet who cannot afford now to organise a fundraising retirement do for us has sent in £50 on account until he can put something together later in the year.

An Aberdeen reader has sent in £25 as he realises that the rest of the press is pro establishment and anti working class and a regular donor from Dundee has sent in £10.

Many thanks for £16 from a retired GMB organiser in Leeds and the UCATT Branch in Crawley for £20.

The ever generous UCATT shop stewards in Merseyside have sent in £41 and our SWP member in Brampton near Barnsley has sent in his £2. Thanks finally to our Irish comrades who have donated £25 to the Fund.

Grassroots Tories may or may not be mad swivel-eyed loons but they certainly are pretty ghastly.

Displaying zealous bigotry to try to prevent same sex marriage allied to openly xenophobic policies expounded by UKIP these people are the pits.

Because of the influence they wield over the elite and the Government they are truly the enemy within. But if you rely on the rest of the media to tell you what is going on, you are led to believe that these mad swivel eyed loons [or not, of course] are really cuddly bears.

We know what they are and why they all need to be dispatched on the next flight to oblivion. We will keep you up to date on all of this so long as we are up to date on money coming here. Give generously and often and as quick as you can.
