Here in England some down and outs are able to sell a magazine called, The big issue, they buy the mags at trade and sell them at the retail price, the have allocated spots in the city to stand and sell them at, they have to wear I.D. stay sober, off the drugs and are not allowed to beg or they lose their right to sell the mag.
I always buy one and usually pay over the asking price cos these people are trying to get back on the ladder (there was a letter in one issue once where the guy was saying most of us are three paypackets from poverty ie no money for three months = no mortgage paid, no finance paid no house no bike no car no marriage etc etc etc.


But the ones sitting in the street looking sad, saying have you any spare change mister

F***k em
