Are there homeless people in the UK?

I think there are but not as many as in the US.

2. Yes. Many.
London has a homeless tent city on the outskirts with thousands of homeless people living there. Gypsys are common all over the UK and squatters are a big problem in dilapitated abandoned homes.

It's a serious problem in fact; though probably not *as* bad as in the USA.

Here's a link to the largest charitable organization concerned with this problem in Britain; it also provides useful information.
