Hm. Interesting. Because the source study for the chart you pointed me to shows this:

D48b-d Which languages do you speak well enough in order to be able to have a conversation, excluding your mother tongue?

Percent of people in France / UK who speak
1+ languages -------    51 / 38
2+ languages -------    21 / 16
3+ languages -------     4 / 6
0 languages --------    49 / 62

Very convincing data, indeed. :)

Because the numbers don't add up? I think the percentage for 1+ languages includes the speakers of 2+ and 3+ languages. Or because you don't think the numbers are right?

Sarcasm doesn't seem to work very well through text. :(

No, it doesn't, so can you please explain your point?
