No Vote- So Donate for Socialism
Well in just a few weeks our beloved leader Tony will be gone to be replaced by the even more beloved Gordon. In fact so adored is this man that MPs felt we should not insult him by having a tawdry election at all. Even now street parties and spontaneous demonstrations are being planned to welcome in the great helmsman as he prepares to lead us forward into a brave new world of lots more wars and privatisations. What a pity that the idea of an affirmation ballot whereby we could all declare our undying loyalty to the master was dropped, simply because a few faint hearts felt that some malcontents might vote no.
Now of course the amazing thing is that there are a whole load of MPs and the like who think that the above paragraph is fact not fantasy! If anyone needs any further encouragement to make a donation to help Socialist Appeal keep up the fight against capitalism and its supporters in our movement then simply look at how we've all been carved up by these so-called defenders of democracy. Brown's (non) election campaign was financed by big business, our struggle is financed by ordinary men and women – that means you. So please consider what you can send to support the fight for a better future.
Donations can be made in a number of ways:
By cheque to us at PO Box 50525, London E14 6WG (made payable to Socialist Appeal SC).
Cheques and cash can also be paid in over the counter at any branch of Abbey National quoting account number K2018479SOC.
TransCash payments can also be made at any Post Office into Alliance and Leicester account number 562 528 601, sort code 72 00 00, account ref BBC.
If you wish you can also ask your bank to pay a regular amount by standing order each month into our accounts. Simply use the information above when instructing your bank (non Alliance and Leicester customers should quote sort code 72 00 05 and account number 625 286 01) or contact us and we will send you a special form you can just fill out and send in. After that everything is automatic and you can change or cancel the SO at any time, it remains under your control and no-one else, ourselves included. Your support is appreciated – thank you in advance.
