Issue 1113 - Still Game

On Monday, we have one cover for Scotland, celebrating the return of Still Game, a cult classic. Elsewhere, we investigate whether I, Daniel Blake (Ken Loach’s last movie) has made the government change policy on sanctions. There is a chance it has moved the dial. There is also a lot on The Big Issue Big Birthday bash, Jo Brand in a Letter to My Younger Self and a very odd, fascinating piece about the carpets in Wetherspoons pubs.

Please note once this edition is no longer on sale with Big Issue vendors (from Monday 17th October) it will be classed as a 'back issue'. All back issues are priced at £4 per copy plus P&P

The Big Issue

The Big Issue's own-brand products support the creation of a range of work-based opportunities for disadvantaged people.
Big Issue has spent over 30 years at the helm of self-help revolution. It all began with the launch of The Big Issue magazine in 1991, which was created to offer homeless and disadvantaged people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income by selling a magazine on the streets. Since then over 200 million copies magazine have been sold by over 100,000 people. Vendors buy the magazine upfront for £1.75 and sell it on to the public for £4.00, and in doing so each runs their own micro-enterprise. In 2005 Big Issue Invest was launched, with the aim of extending The Big Issue's mission by financing the growth of social enterprises and charities across the UK. To date the organisation has directly invested in over 350 such organisations, and manages or advises on more than £170 million of social funds.
