Yes, from time to time - you should as well as to be honest it a very good magazine that gives you various quality information and news on music, art, books, politics and much more. The good thing is that it's local, so everything you read you can go check by yourself or you are directly touched by it. You also have a lot of ads and advices on how to help people int eh need or volunteer (as it's the main point, isn't it?) and at the end, my favourite section, is the space they leave for homeless people to express themselves. I was very surprised the first time to see the quality of poetry and drawings I saw there! Worth the £1,50 (or more) that you will invest (definitely more than a Heat or Hello... or even an Evening Standard!)
Hope this helps - and you should try at least once to make your own judgement!

I did - its a magazine sold by the unemployed - the guy outside the angel tube was a fanatical arsenal fan and a great source of gossip - and a good bloke - i'd either buy the Issue or get him a pint

I always buy it,its about lots of things they have interviews with celebrities,competitions,letters page,a page dedicated to find missing people,an update on the homelessness issues,Mp's views on homelessness,the vacancies pages,the last 2 celebs where Harry Hill comedian and Ken Loach filmmaker,its a great buy and the vendors make I think 50p from each copy sold this helps them to get off the streets and into a home and move on with their lives buy a copy and see for yourself it only costs £1.50 not to expensive you would pay more for a beer.....................

Yes in the past (a few times), its generally like any other magazine, some may contain exclusive interviews and it does serve a good purpose - instead of begging those on the street are working...the magazines are not free to them since they have to 'operate' in a business since in order to purchase more.

No but I HAVE said to a vendor who was shouting "ISSUE, ISSUE, ISSUE", "Bless You" but I don't think he thought it funny! Some of the vendors are very pushy. I have read one I found on a train and it was the biggest pile of poo I have ever seen.
