I'm not saying that the Accrington seller is part of this but I certainly wouldn't dream of ever buying a Big Issue from anyone, I don't agree with begging of any kind or aggressive selling. I find her sales technique to be offensive and wish that she could be stopped by the council.
I've only seen this woman a few times anne and she's never really bothered me, but you can't really tar everybody with the same brush, selling the big issue has helped a lot of people climb out of the gutter and take up a useful roll in society, so it can't be all bad really
