I believe the move by Big Issue is a betrayal of Wales. The Big Issue Cymru explored issues sometimes ignored by the mainstream media - including job losses at Welsh newspapers. That is one issue BI won't cover again. I know the move to Scotland has caused some political concern. It is clear that it is only a matter of time before readers realise that this organisation has effectively turned its back on Wales.
