I find John Bird annoying, actually big issue sellers are murder for pushing the mag in your face almost trying to sell them.
I do however buy it off them and often get the scam too of, this is my last one with the indication of hoping I will say keep it so they can sell it again.

However, like Ed Miliband,I still always give money to people sitting in the streets, not a lot of money obviously but I will not walk past on the other side with my nose in the air.
It may not help them but the main issue for me is that anyone genuine in being on the streets is a scandal as to whatever govt. is in power at the time and I see more and more people on the streets under this coalition govt. than I ever saw in the last 4 years of the last one.

Slamming Ed Miliband for photo opportunism for putting perhaps a 50p piece in a cup is rather unfortunate.
Cameron would have said he will bring something for her tomorrow,or the next day or even the next week but never get around to actually doing so.
