Nor me.

The concept of the Big issue was wonderful and John Bird has to be congratulated in establishing a vehicle to help people help themselves and get off the streets.

the guy outside Morrison's has been there since 2000 as I recall buying the 'Millennium' issue from him.

I am sorry, but no-one, even with the 'sloth on Prozac' speed that support services work has been 'unintentionally homeless' for approaching 15 years. He is running a small business happily pocketing the £1.25 'margin' on the £2.50 cover price. Sellers are encouraged to be 'micro-businesses' by the big Issue Foundation, but fifteen years?

As to Roma selling the magazine.

This is from the Big Issue website:

“ROMA GANGS ARE STOPPING BRITISH VENDORS GETTING MAGAZINES”
We’ve plenty of magazines and plenty of pitches to go around, this has simply never happened. It’s a big world and we welcome all vendors equally no matter where they’re from.

Hardly a socially responsible attitude given that many 'Roma' have neither the right to reside or work in the UK.
