I remember the Morning Star was on sale at major newsagents in all Socialist countries in the '70's and '80's.

Andy. You can read everything online everyday but I appreciate it is not the same as having the paper in your hands. Why not order the Saturday edition once a week and treat yourself to that on a Monday morning in France?

The circulation of the paper has increased over the years but we still struggle to get it made available in all outlets and shops. There are many local Morning Star Support Groups around the country who can help you locate a copy and raise money for the Fighting Fund.

I get the impression that the circulation of the paper is increasing & it is moving slowly toward financial stability. Does anyone know if this actually the case?

OK, so I live in France, I want to to read the Morning Star every... morning. How do I get it? £1 per day + £2 per day postage to read it (at least) 48 hours after it's publishing date or is there some other way?
I've looked on the site, honest!

ENAMEL MORNING STAR BADGE FOR PEACE AND SOCIALISM

A great way to show your support for the Morning Star is to buy a Morning Star badge. Nice traditional design on enamel, great Christmas present and most importantly it raises money for the fighting fund.

The link to www.morningstaronline.com is no good (an Italian music site), it should be http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk.

Thanks for all the tiny versions of the logo that various people have sent. For some reason they are still loading as a giant version. Anyway.... here are the top 10 tips for supporting the Morning Star and getting it read by as many trade union members as possible.

1. Buy a copy every day
2. Get your Branch to order a copy every day
3. Order additional copies to sell at union events, demos, picket lines etc
4. Take out an advert in the paper to publicise your event, show support for campaigns, send solidarity greetings on May Day etc
5. When you have finished reading your copy - pass it on to someone else
6.Send the Morning Star a press relase about your event, strike, campaign etc
7. Become a shareholder of the Morning Star
8. Get your Branch to buy shares in the Morning Star
9.Add your website to the Morning Star progressive website listings
10. Send a letter to the Morning Star letters page - always good lively left debate.

And one more thing - post a link from your website to www.morningstaronline.com.
Got to go - have to pick up my copy from the newsagents!
