I get mine from a vendor outside Sainsburys on Shandwick Place. He couldn't be nicer, and even when I'm just passing, he always takes time to say hi and ask after my family.

The Big Issue and its vendors do a brilliant job. Support them if you can.
"Big Issue keeps me going and keeps me alive"

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.
