The French consulate publishes inflated estimates without evidence for obvious self-serving reasons, but verifiable data from the ONS is singnificantly lower than that.
- user5994461 10y agoThe article is confirming his point. It's about this order of magnitude.
- achamayou 10y agoIt really doesn't at all, please take the time to read it. UK stats (census and ONS numbers) put the number of French nationals between 66000 and 86000, which would make it the 44th biggest French city at best (taking the largest figure). Le Monde's estimate, also given in the article and based on a comparable INSEE data would make it 23rd. Repeating ad nauseam the unsubstantiated claim that it's the 7th largest French city when all evidence suggests it doesn't even make the top 20 is not a worthwhile contribution to this discussion.
