Are there really be 300,000 French people in London and would they really want to leave France for the UK anyway? The Mayor of London, British journalists and commentators have trotted out this "fact" a number of times over the last few years to illustrate just how popular the UK鈥檚 capital is with its neighbours across the Channel.

This programme was first broadcast on the 麻豆官网首页入口 World Service.
