    Without further information, this is a fairly useless number. How many are mentally ill, Immigrants awaiting Asylum, addicts unable to access support services, looking for a job but can’t get an employer to take them on without an address, same for renting. Veterans? Illegal Immigrants? just saying rough sleepers tells me nothing. Is it supposed to be shocking? A surprise?

      Useless alone. But absolutely any one of your possible answer is a fucking important one

      And clear indication that some change is harming people in the UK.
