There But for the Grace of God Go I

Big Issue Seller

Exchange Square
Merchant City
Glasgow

In Scotland's cities homeless people are given the opportunity to sell 'The Big Issue' as an alternative to begging. Not only does this give them a legitimate income but help preserve their dignity and self respect. In Glasgow most passers-by will give a donation of £1 without taking a copy so these men and women still have their stock of magazines to sell...

Different in Edinburgh where locals campaign to have homeless people removed from the street. They'll feed squirrels in the park but deny their fellow humans the opportunity to feed themselves.
