do you really mean this?
My guess is that they are not claiming as many benefits because they are trying to get themselves off them.
they would claim the same amount as other 'self-employed' people with families as well as means tested benefits - the only one they probably don't claim is JSA
my point is - they are as entitled (no more nor less) as any other self employed person - but why treat their activities as requiring charitable giving when they are not necessarily homeless and sleeping rough?
agree with merlotgran I too have encountered very intimidating and pushy Big Issue sellers.
What do you think would go well with coasters like this?
