Now I wonder why, can it be the weather, the vast number of vacant jobs, the food, I wonder why?

Also the telly.

We have the best tv in the whole of Europe, but some margin.

And the best nightclubs, bars, restaurants (yeah, I'm looking at you France with your weird unidentifiable bits of floppy giblets on a plate), theatres, concert venues etc etc.

Oh dear Fred, why don;t you try and look deeper before coming out with your classic answers?

France was chosen because the UK attracts twice more immigrants than France, hence the headline.

It wouldn't have been correct to say that about Spain or Germany, simple isn't it?

UK 566,044 - France 267,400

Germany - 489,422

Spain - 457,649

Indeed. AOG, and whether you think it is valid to take one unusual statistic to compare with a normal one, in order to make a headline, is another matter.
