Blackburn with Darwen borough currently has seven rough sleepers on its streets the council’s leader has revealed.
Three weeks ago, I was living in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Terre Haute has a population of less than 60,000. Blackburn and Darwen has a population of over 150,000.
Terre Haute has an estimated 500 homeless people.
It will get down to 1°F/-17 °C there on Wednesday night.
Blackburn is one of the poshest places in the UK? What are you even talking about?

The only reason we’re even staying here is that it was cheaper to stay here short-term than almost any other place in England with an urban population.
