Definition of the word 'bigot'-Oxford concise dictionary
One who holds irrespective of reason,and attaches disproportionate weight to some creed or view.

I have just spoken with the office of the Big Issue and they do indeed help families and with several members being BI sellers so therefore being a family concern.

What is the problem exactly?

Perhaps we could learn by example about the strong bonds these families maintain in the face of adversity.

Tributes pour in for murdered vendor Tuesday 12th of May 2009

Tributes have poured in for The Big Issue seller brutally murdered last week, as the public show their support for vendors living in fear of assault and verbal abuse.

Fears for the safety of those living homeless on the streets have been stoked by the savage murder of a Big Issue vendor in Bournemouth, followed by another assault in the town only days later.

Big Issue seller Ralph Millward, 41, was a well-known character around his pitch outside Marks and Spencer in the Westbourne area, where he also slept and where his body was found on Friday morning.

The tributes that have been left at a memorial outside the shop, including scores of flowers and cards, demonstrates the support for those homeless whose life on the street puts them in perpetual fear of verbal and physical abuse.

May you never have to walk a mile in their shoes.
