Big Issue salesmen (and women)
are all vetted to make sure they're genuinely homeless or vulnerably housed. Hence why they carry ID. They don't sponge from society, they're selling the Big Issue to earn some money.

There are a lot of cuntish 'chuggers' out there working on commission, but don't tar the Big Issue lot with the same brush, they're alright. And the magazine is actually worth reading, I usually buy a copy.

Fuck off back to your Daily Mail.

I used to buy the Big Issue
Until I realised - didn't take long, only a couple of, er, issues - that the quality of the writing contained therein was abysmal.

If I'm going to pay good money for something I expect some quality in return.
