Notes from reading The Big Issue November 18-24...

Distinctly Independent from the beginning pages.  The use of language and content within is a lot more informal, in its subject and in its delivery.

Editors intro: addresses upcoming christmas themed donations and support in the idea of buying, or giving existing, small food items for your vendor - from the double offers and excess available for us this time of year.

The Mix: contains variety or tweets or letters that are quite insulting in their interpretation of previous big issue articles! freedom to speech feels pretty free here.

Adverts don't seem to be about products, but for
*courses or
*donation pages for big issue foundation or
*Crisis at Christmas
*Build your Vendor a shop - community based project where children or readers can enter a drawing of a buildable housing unit to protect vendors from weather

Celebrity interviews about life events, specifically about family:
*Samira Ahmed - her "Aunt" and her memories of their relationship
*Suggs - his dad on drugs.
