the big issue

1991- founded by Gordon Roddick (founder of Body Shop which is ethically good as it doesn't harm animals) and john bird whos a lord now -"a publishing revolution"
JOHN BIRD WAS HOMELESS- A HAND UP. 
ETHICAL CAPITALISM- COMPETITION AND PROFIT
its a social enterprise- a business that makes profit but has social benefits 
went global and had many famous people participating 
since 1991 sold over 200 million copies   
extended their brand to a 'Big issue shop'
Big Issue invest- Invests in other social enterprises    
COST 1.25 BUT SOLDFOR 2.50 FOR US 
120 COUNTRIES

Broadly speaking 'The Big Issue' has left agenda (labour).
-Supporting less wealthy and disadvanatged people in society
-Founder John bird who was homeles. HOWEVER many conservative members are self-made buisness people come from poverty and want to keep their wealth.
-Left agenda but follows many principles of right wing (Capitalism)
-"A hand up not a hand out"
