If people feel the BI sellers code of conduct are being broken then they need to contact the BI itself as that is the only way something is going to be addressed.

There have been a number of comments on these people some of which have been racially motivated but others which have some grounding in truth. Some of the more racially inappropriate comments lead to wider debates which end in tears usually. I think people need to focus on what is and isn;t appropriate behaviour for a seller and focus on that in their complaint. I can't comment on Mafia links but they do exist and I have no idea whether they apply in this case or are just malicious and fantastical gossip.

I have personally taken issue with their bringing their children to work and being stuck in a pram outside Sainsburys all day on a busy road in a buggy with no stimulation or not being able to move around which is pretty essential really. I've also seen people being chased around the station forecourt by sellers when they've just been to the cashpoint. Thats not acceptable.

I just think the concerns need to be formally investigated for truth and accuracy after which the BI can surely make the decision about an individuals' appropriateness to be a seller. If its portrayed or masked as racist bilge then it won't get very far.
