The Big Issue

[toby99]

Do you give money to, or buy from, the people who sell The Big Issue usually on the High Streets. If yes, why? If no, why not? Thanks

Pingpong - your theory is possible but it isn't very likely.

No, they should all go and get jobs, lazy gets. Big Issue? - it's called begging. People who buy it stick it in the bin as soon as they can.

Not all of them do, i read it and like reading it, i buy it to help them and also to read it. I dont make judgements about the sellers, it makes no difference and you dont know that persons story unless you talk to them. If they are selling the big issue then they are worse off than me and for that reason i buy it. It was set up so that they didnt beg, so they could earn money to get hopefully get themselves out of that situation and that is a good thing.
chopsuey maybe you should read it, especially the poems and letters written by those living on the streets
