Yes, i have bought the big Issue in past. I have found the articles quite informative. It lets you see why many are on streets and the stories behind it all. It helps people understand whats going on ,on the streets. and that the people are human beings with same problems as the rest of us. Just some with addictions because they find it difficult to cope with what life throws at them. Buy one, have a read for yourself.

I am very passionate about homeless people and have helped out with the homeless only I don't buy the big issue I was told that some buy it then sell it on and you may think the person who is selling it is homeless only they not always are

I buy it but never read it - I feel guilty if I don't buy it - then I have to walk around town for the rest of the day with it in my hand so the other sellers can see I have bought it and then I don't get harassed

I don't - I buy it primarily for the excellent quality of pornography on offer, and secondly to support the homeless.

If they do pester you, keep a pack of hankies in your pocket. Hand them one with a courteous, " bless you "when theyre in your face shouting "BIG ISSUE"

No. I buy it when I think the seller is really trying to better themself.
I always give a bit extra and do read it.
