London has, IIRC, the sixth largest French population of any city in

Sounds like they are settled rather than mobile and temporary.

All of them? You can tell from that one snippet of information? Wow.
Even the students? Even those in the city who'd be off tomorrow, to
chase big numbers, if their job changed or required it?

Maybe even the settled ones didn't all start off with the intention to
settle?


I've never seen a french plumber in the UK undercutting the other
plumbers.

I don't care about students - they are not damaging the local economy,
rather the opposite - they are contributing to it by paying student fees.
Let's clarify my standpoint further:


They are damaging it, by taking up accomodation which might otherwise be
used by locals. This means extra housing needs to be built with all the
attendant infrastructure and loss of green fields.
