    Misleading title. If the current trend continues it will be larger in 2025.

    France's total population includes the overseas territories while the UK's population is Great Britain and Northern Ireland (I believe). This should mean that the population of the UK is already larger than that of mainland France.

    Annual migration of 700,000 people to a country of 70,000,000 is absurd and completely destabilises society.
