Big Issue sellers in Liverpool

I wanted to asak. Where are you? North West? North East? I would hazard a guess that you are a northerner.

yes i am a northerner...

and i understand how some rockstar who is addicted to something is no danger where as a poor doley is going to be a problem...because they will need to feed the habit....

i know the danger of a drug addict is circumstantial..if drugs were cheap and availlible we probably wouldnt have these problems... alcohol causes alot more violent attacks i would say...

desperate people take desperate measures...i dont think the goverment is doing enough to help desperate addicts...the problem they have is they dont allways want to stop...

i come from the wirral which is right by Liverpool, somewhere I spend a lot of time. I have first hand experience of being offered drugs by big issue sellers, who when I replied no I dont want them continued to ask for the price of a cup of tea. It is a sad fact that these people whatever their tragic circumstances need help, If you want o help them I would suggest rather than giving money buy them some food or a pack of fags or that ubiquitous cup of tea. Drugs are a real problem on the streets of livepool and something needs to be done. I dont agree with arresting them, but for those who want we should but resources into elping them. However the sad fact remains that you can only help people who want to help themselves.
