In those days, it was funded by Moscow gold, in a manner so secretive that many high up in the party didn't know about it. Today, it calls itself the organ of the Labour Party. It claims to be funded as a co-operative, by its readers. In an age when mainstream newspapers are fighting for survival, (some have gone to the wall already), I find it hard to believe that the Morning Star is surviving funded by the few people who read it. So, the question is, who's funny money is behind the Morning Star today?Note 1. I don't expect anyone to be able to tell me.Note 2. There were two communist parties. The organ of the other, the Communist Party of Great Britain, was Marxism Today. less
