Sure, it was lovely to be back again at my old

Big Issue pitch on London's Long Acre after my

five-year pitch was closed down by the vile decision

of Peter and John Bird to suspend me for "bringing

The Big Issue into disrepute." Such is the catch-all

rule used against vendors at the whim and will of

The Big Issue Bird Brothers. Their "suspension" of

me is illegal and has no legal validity against me

until a court of law rules whatever which way for

me or The Big Issue. Thus, legal counsel informs

me of such and on that basis I have now freely

acted accordingly as seen today by the use my

pitch to once again sell The Big Issue that I

most certainly see no reason why I shouldn't.

Or whether I am a vendor who is "debadged or

not!" by the nasty ilk of The Bird Brothers.

~~~

But for now, back at my pitch I was today and so

enjoyed every minute of it as old friends and good

customers were surprised to see me again. In fact,

I spent two extra hours beyond my planned time

to set-up and sell my wholesale supply of the

latest edition of The Big Issue, No. 906.

~~~
Two of my good friends held the banners high.

~~~

Aside from the fact that the front cover of No.

906 was one of the worst Big Issue covers I've

seen in a good while, I still finally sold out with

some good profit for me, too, after being deprived

of making an honest dime for the past 8 weeks

since the callous Bird Brothers conspired to get rid

of me all because of some notorious sham bishop

and unconvicted international criminal cyber

stalker at America's State of Colorado who has

gleefully and viciously told them tales of

every horror supposedly about me!!
~~~

Another good friend did the honours, too, for me!

~~~
One of the last things that Big Issue's distributor

Sam Woolock asked of me was whether I was

then "debadged or not?" I told her, before she

then called the police on me behind my back,

that as far as I knew I was merely suspended
but for how long I wasn't told by ruthless Peter

Bird since he said he needed to conduct "an in-

vestigation" of me to which I would then be told

further matters regarding his suspenion of me.

Needless to say, I've not heard a dickey bird

back from either little honcho Peter Bird

or from his big honcho brother John Bird.

~~~

I consider at this point that whatever period

of suspension I have had, I have now served

that after 8 long weeks for whatever reason (s)

The Big Issue saw fit to do what it has already

done to me. Perhaps all they want to do is like

the sham bishop and who has literally tried to

throw away my life and Christ-being all to

satisfy whatever fits his own brand of hatred

toward me ... I am long ago immuned to

whatever the bastard says about me.

I simply don't care anymore ...

~~~
Yet another good friend also came and did

public honour for me right next to my pitch.

~~~
I am sure that I am the first Big Issue vendor

who decided to go back to his or her pitch whe-

ther he or she is "debadged or not." The term

"debadged" is based on The Big Issue taking

away a vendor's badge that he or she must

wear while selling on the street or at an

assigned pitch. The badge has a crude mug-

shot of the vendor with a badge number and

Big Issue seal. Every six-months the badge

number of the vendor is updated and a new

colour one is issued for the new badge. Non-

Big Issue badges are bogusly printed by rogue

sellors across the country. Genuine badges are

sometimes lost or stolen or sold and then used

by street people who have themselves either

been unjustly suspended or refused a badge for

whatever reasons or who don't want to go to the

hassle of signing-up to become a badged vendor.

My badge is No. 115 and I started out five years

ago with the No. 2669. Always remember, too, it

doesn't matter how long you've been with The

Big Issue, they'll shaft you on the spot and have

no sense of loyalty even though they demand

the vendor give loyalty to The Big Issue ...

~~~

Today was a very good day for me. Even though

I still see no light at the end of The Big Issue

tunnel for me, I will continue to do further public

protests against the unjust Peter and John Bird.

I have other surprises instore for them and I

don't care if they get even more mad against me.

Once they take some positive steps to rightfully

restore me to my Long Acre pitch, then I will not

let up on writing all I can about them and their

Big Issue. I've lost what I had at The Big Issue,

so until I gain it back again then in my loss I

can only contain my deep anger against Peter

and John Bird by my pen that is mightier than

the sword. I cry, while my enemies rejoice!

But one day, I shall rejoice against The Bird

Brothers and most especially against that

sham bishop of Yankee hate. Mark my

words, my dear ones!! And that will come

whether I am "debadged or not!"

petition either "live" or online to have my

Big Issue pitch rightfully restored to me:
