JBFC II Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 What a quality human being https://mobile.twitter.com/BcfcPezza/status/1186942996547342337 Spent 5-10 minutes talking to a big issue seller before giving her some money. Only a small act but would have meant a lot to the woman, what a guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a negative outlook that is, and in many respects the money is irrelevant. Homeless people will so often just prefer to have someone to talk to, so we’ll done fam for giving up his time to do so.

I know a couple of big issue sellers, one from Romania and one from Poland and I can assure you the last thing they would spend any money on is heroin. That sort of generalisation is pretty pathetic imo, maybe if you spoke to some yourself you’d realise they aren’t all druggies and are totally normal people who have just had a tough life, in many respect having to leave loved ones behind in an attempt to support them. Or you could continue with your sad, uninformed views about them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 I din't think using the heroin line is great tbh Bob, but I definitely get the FACT that the little lad needs a major operation that costs a lot of money to the majority of people in the whole World. I know it isn't easy to draw the line of what the likes of footballers/wealthy people should donate to or not, but that 147k that little boy needs really is pocket change to a huge number of footballers collectively. When you read the likes of some footballers on half a million per week it makes me fooking sick when there are many out there struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly enough, not all big issue sellers are the same. I’m amazed that with 30 years experience with them you don’t know that. Im also amazed that with 30 years experience with the big issue (amazing that you have that much experience with a charity that’s been running for 25 years, but never mind) you’d also know about the amount of work they do with helping people with addictions, although I’m sure you thought that all through before you made your claim? 6 minutes ago, Smokey said: Another thread gone to shit.

Eastside Moonwalker Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Angers jacket and the old badge trackies, not bad the amount of rest day clobber he's probably collected from old clubs.

And to actually find cause to criticise him for it is simply quite staggering and a very sad reflection on you. I sincerely hope you never find yourself down on your luck and struggling to survive.

I am not that up with Twitter but it looks like Famara shared the picture himself? A greater gesture than bickering between ourselves on here will be to either donate or chat to one of these people next time we see them! I personally always chat with a guy I see on the walk from Wilmslow station every morning, I do not expect someone to take my picture and share it, just be humane and remember we are all human beings and we know nothing about why the person is in that situation.

It’s normally within the first 2 or 3 posts so that must be a personal achievement. And experience doesn’t stop me from knowing the good the big issue does with regards to drug and alcohol addiction. And therefore how statements like yours above are totally ridiculous. Maybe if you for once admit you’re in the wrong stereotyping the woman, and in doing so again ruining a good thread, then we could end this...

Famara has then replied to it saying that we're all human. He's not self-promoting, just responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
