^^Okay. 'Big Issue' is a magazine distributed almost exclusively by homeless people. It operates on a charity basis, although the distributors themselves effectively become self-employed: they keep a large portion of the profits, with the rest going to various other charites which help the homeless. It's actually a pretty good mag - bought a few of them over the years.
It was not a joke at the expense of the homeless, BTW - it was a joke at the expense of the slugs. And frankly, the slugs deserve it after what they did to those lettuces I attempted to grow many years ago!
