Wow, he sounds like a cunt. People complain when homeless people beg for money, so when they get a job selling the Big Issue to try and get money in a more civilised manner people still complain. Not all homeless people are alcoholic smack heads, so it's a bit unfair to tar them all with the same brush. Doing something like that just shows complete and utter ignorance, let me guess, he also thinks being gay is "wrong" and all the "foreigners" or "immigrants" should "fuck off back to where they came from", even if they're legally allowed to be in this country? I was in Bristol the other day and some dude who was obviously needed money for drugs started asking me and my friends for money, but while he was asking us he was juggling 3 balls, I asked if he could do four so he got another out and started trying, he wasn't a fanny to me, so I wasn't a fanny to him, and I gave him about 50p and he left us alone. Yeah he was a bit of a dick, but at least he chatted to us and tried to entertain us, so I felt the least I could do was show him some respect, as he had done to me. EDIT: Just had a thought, if you actually took the time to read the Big Issue, you'd realise there are actually some quite good articles in there. Also great work on throwing them in the bin, I'm no green freak but I still believe in the concept of recycling.
